I have to share this pic with you



Recommended Posts

In case some of you are wondering how much (some of) you will be able to eat after your surgery I wanted to share this picture with you :).

I am 6 weeks out and this was my lunch today...a small, narrow, thin piece of veggie gourmet pizza from Round Table, and I AM STUFFED TO THE BRIM. And I don't eat the hard crust edge. It's such a miracle for me because I could eat at least 4 regular pieces before the surgery. This tool is truly a miracle.

Thanks for sharing. I know this sounds wierd for someone who hasn't even gotten my date yet, but I look forward to the day when I'm full from eating that amount. Before the pre-op diet, it always felt like the bottonless pit! :rolleyes:

It's really a great thing to kind of see all the changes. . . I know that it's so weird for me to go out for Mexican food, and be content with 4-5 chips with salsa, and a few strips of fajita meat with Beans and rice rolled up in half of a tortilla with loads of guacamole ! ! ! I could eat an entire basket of chips with salsa and queso, plus 3-4 fajitas. . . with all the rice and beans, plus some more chips and salsa pre-op.

Regular crust...they asked if I wanted pan, I was like no way, for fear it may get stuck ouch! I put some regular size paper clips at the side of the plate to show just how small it actually was :)...I'm hoping to be able to eat a regular size pc. of pizza soon, I really think I need to eat more, especially for energy :(

      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.
