First night out since surgery!!



Recommended Posts

Well tonight will be my first night going out to dinner since my surgery 1 month ago.. I am excited/nervous at the same time. It's a dinner with my hubbys co-workers and boss, and I don't want to look like an idiot eating in front of them. I have been cleared for chopped meats since 2 weeks post op, and as of yesterday been cleared for salads again. I went and bought a new shirt for the occasion, and to my surprise it was a 1X OMG really a 1X!! 1 month ago I was barely fitting into a 3X.. I probably spent more then I should have $20 for a shirt that was on sale and a shirt I am probably going to be able to wear for a short while, but who cares right?? A little treat now and then is alright. I don't plan on buying anything else other then goodwill/yard sale clothes for the next 6-9 months. LoL Going off subject back to what I was orginally talking about. I plan on ordering the tilapia so I figure that will keep some eyes off of me. I am just dreading to hear the remarks some may say.. Hopefully night but they may you never know.. Any way wish me luck on my first night 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.
