Thought I made a huge mistake last night



Recommended Posts

4 days out and I went to an auction last night, that was not the mistake I told myself I would stay as long as I was comfortable. I took a bottle of Gatorade with and finished that so my husband went to the snack counter and got me a room temp Water, I forgot for a moment about sipping and played into thirst and chugged the water:blink: I caught myself on the 3 gulp and then panic set in. I got up and walked toward the bathroom just in case, but nothing, nothing happened! I had one few seconds of air that had to come up that was a little uncomfortable, but other than that I was fine.

I thought for sure after all my reading that I would either have spontaneous water flowing up the wrong way or intense pain.

I was so shaken by my lapse of memory I vowed to never leave the house without my little 2 ounce medicine cup again!

The other thing I came across was other people eating. I had no physical hunger, but when my sister in law sat down with her potato chips I could not help but think how good one would taste, and then my brother in law bought nachos with cheese. Again, looked good, would have loved the texture in my mouth but after checking my stomach there was no hunger for them, so I guess that was my first case of head hunger thus far? Don't get me wrong I am too scared to even try pudding right now, so I would never had tried real food at this point, it was just a new feeling to sort out.

      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.
