Excited And Nervous



Recommended Posts

Just got the time for my surgery Wednesday. Have to be there at 8:30 am. Day surgery for me. Had a two week pre-op diet, down 10lbs. Really excited and nervous. I know things are going to go well.

Ive been on Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes since last Wednesday. Until yesterday I was also eating a sensible dinner too. Now it's all liquids. I've had 700 calories today and 72g of Protein. I'm feeling rumbly in the tumbly tho. How about you?

I have been on my post-op diet for two weeks. 2 Protein Shakes a day and 6 oz. of lean meat a cup of green veggies and a cup of fruit per day. (also crystal light, sugar free popsicles, and such) I have not really been hungry to much. My doc did not require the all liquid diets that some do. How long do you have to be on all liquid?

Technically all liquids (clears with Protein shakes) for two weeks. One week pre and one week post op. I'm reading that some people are going to creamy foods just a few days post op. I'm wondering why my doc is so conservative...

I think your diet sounds much more doable. So jealous! I'm really a crabby Appleseed over here. I have kids to feed so I cant avoid real food. Wah!

In 24 hours I'll be so excited!!!

And in 48 hours I hope we are doing just as well.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
