Approved for Surgery July 11



Recommended Posts

I am doing great! I really can't complain. The hardest part is getting in all the liquids. My stomach feels like it is cramping just a little if I take a sip that is too big. It is weird being able to feel that. My doctor has had me on full liquids since Saturday, so I am able to eat cottage cheese, sugar-free Jello, creamed Soups, etc. I am drinking Protein drinks throughout the day because he wants me to eat 6 times so I do small portions until my stomach gets healed. I can eat about 4 teaspoons of cottage cheese before I start to burp and reading what others have said on here, I am taking that as being full. I am really surprised that I am actually not feeling so much cramping when I drink today, so its true that each day gets better and better.

I need to get some more walking in starting today. It is so hot during the day as you probably know living in Texas. I will either have to wait until this afternoon or perhaps what we did yesterday and go to Wal-Mart and walk the isle ways while we window shop to get in my walk. There is always a way.

Dawn

Thank you Dawn.

How are you doing? Getting in your liquids?

      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.
