6 Days Post Op- Update



Recommended Posts

I started my pre surgery program at 333# August 27th, and I started my presurgery diet at 316#, prior to presurgery diet, I did ISAGENIX shakes (shake shake meal) and I was on that for two weeks then back to sensible eating for about 2.5 weeks before the liver shrinking diet. for my presurgery diet i went with the Body By Vi Shakes, (shake shake meal, but switched shakes because the Vi shakes were so much more versatile and yummy). i started that portion on Oct 2, was down 9# from presurgery to 306# day of (10-16-12-last Tuesday), and weighed in this morning at 295#!!!!

11# from surgery day

21# from presurgery diet start

38# total from start of process!

      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.
