4 weeks today post op!



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to tell everyone I am 4 weeks post op and I am feeling great. I still feel hungry at times and get jealous that I can't eat certain things that I see my friends eating. I know soon I will but wonder when? I have only thrown up once and I think it was because I didn't wait long enough between meals. It seems like I am learning when I am full now. As soon as I feel it I just stop eating. I am drinking Protein but don't feel like I am getting enough. I hope to see my doctor in the next few weeks so he can say my stomach is good to go. The good news is that when I went for my sugary I was 292 and today I weighed in at 257. I absoulety feel great and happy my doctor convinced me to get the sleeve over the lap band. Thanks for all the information on this site and support. I am still sticking to mushies to be on the safe side and actually had 1 glass of wine and an amstel light last Saturday. I was only able to drink half of the beer which was funny. It takes a little used to getting familiar with your new body but the compliments from friends are well worth it.

Best regards to all,

Mo

Funny thing is that I went from drinking a lot of coffee with Snacks at work to none cold turkey. I also need to start drinking more Water because I am not getting enough in. I have cheated once with a milkshake from jack in the box but could only have about half of it.

      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.
