Recommended Posts

I went to my surgeon last week for a slight unfill .25cc's cause I kept gettting stuck, everything and also heartburn so he took Fluid out to calm things down this past week. I took it easy on food choices, mushies, softs, Soups, fish, things like that. Guess I had taken in a lot of sodium with soups because I noticed my ankles were swollen yesterday afternoon, luckily I had some Lasix. I took one and boy did it run me, every 20 mins I was peeing for hrs. Got to the dr's today and had lost 4 lbs, well I knew it was the fluid overnight. He ended up putting back in the .25cc's with hopes that things were calmed down inside and not irritated and tight. I will take it easy with meals for a few days. I can finally say that the stress level in my life with my ex has FINALLY settled from our divorce 2 yrs ago so my stress level has calmed down, thank you Lord! On another note, I was able to get outside and walk yesterday for 20 mins, that was an accomplishment for me. It is suppose to rain tomorrow but not Sat so I will do it again Sat. Felt good to be able to walk around the block and not get out of breath. Life is good.

      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.
