Pre Op Diet Heacache!



Recommended Posts

How are you feeling today Barbara and Gloria? Hopefully this will soon pass and you'll feel better. . .

thinoneday,

I'm doing great today. Thanks! The headache was horrible, but this morning when I woke up it was gone. Things are going along smoothly with the diet also. My hubby is following it along with me. He's been so supportive and helpful. He wants to drop some weight also, so he's going to just follow along with healthy eating which makes it much easier for me.

How are things for you? Do you have your date set yet?

Hi Barb, actually i was sleeved on 12/29. . .so being 8 days out. . . i'm still on Clear Liquids until thursday. . i go to the doctor that day to get a check up, weighed and then i have to go to nutrition class to learn how to advance to the next level of nutrition. . and then after that class i go to an exercise class to learn how to exercise i guess. . . but let me tell you, after you start feeling good and have only broth, Water, Jello, and popsicles to "eat" you tend to go a bit nutty. . . my glucose dropped to 69 last night (i'm not diabetic), i was sweaty, and really irratable, so i increased my jello to 2 cups and 2 popsicles. . . had some tea with honey and felt soooooooo much better. . . after a couple took my glucose test again and it went up to 72. . . so that was better. . . can't wait to get off this clear liquid thing and get some other stuff in. . . . 1 more day! aggggghhhhhh. . . .

I am so glad I don't drink coffee I don't think I could handle a caffiene AND carb headache at the same time.

Is anyone else having issues with memory or cognition.

      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.
