Make a room on the loosers bench for meeeee!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Make room on the loosers for me.......... I had my surgery on 3/11 and I had to stay in ICU for 3 days..... I couldn't keep ice chips down I kept throwing everything up. My blood pressure was out of control and the morphine wasn't helping it. After several different medications my blood pressure finally started to stabilze and I was moved to a regular room on Saturday maybe around 2-3am. I was given my first taste of broth and cyrstal lite then, man it was soooo goood. I was finally released on Sunday afternoon.

When I was admitted I weighed 222 and today I weigh 216.........

It's finally coming off.........

OH Tia....that sounds horrible and I can definitely commiserate. I also know how good that broth tasted when I could finally keep something down as well. Welcome to the losers bench!

      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.
