I'm on the other side Divas!!! Sipping, walking, and getting in at least 60 grams of protein.



Recommended Posts

Divas, I have to admit I'm hurting more than I had planned on, but the doc did extensive work on my hernia and my stomach had attached to my lung. No wonder I did not feel well. Anyhow, glad it's over and I'm doing better tonight. One problem I gained 10 lbs of fluid---but that too will pass. I'm still taking the liquid morphine about every 6 hrs. now. I have LOTS of gas---the walking and gasex have help. Trying to establish a schedule and have been drinking 2 oz of Protein Drink an hour.

So, good luck everyone, your day will be soon. God bless. I'll keep intouch. Effie

Sweetspot here, Third day and I feel some better. drinking 2-4 oz Protein drink every hour with Decaf coffee, and Water. Taking 4 GASEX a day. I think I must be gulping more than sipping, My belly is really distented. I've lost 6 lbs. of the 10 gained from Fluid. I have to drink everything room temp. So, if anything that I might be missing is a warm drink.....but that will come. Hope everyone is doing well and keep on keeping on. Effie

      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.
