Day of eating(drinking) - Full liquids



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on Tuesday. Had a couple of complications but nothing I could not get thru.

Yesterday was the 5th day post op and the first day I have felt like tracking what I have had to eat. Here are my totals per FitDay Free calculator for yesterday:

Calories- 501

Fat- 6.7

Carbs-39

Protein 70.1

All my Vitamins taken and my Water requirements met plus some!

I am on full liquids. For those of you who are further along do you think these numbers are okay? Is this enough calories because I could eat more. I think I am right on target but want to see if it is similar to how you guys did on full liquids.

You are high speed! I am on full liquids ( 3 weeks out ) moving into mushies and just started tracking my food today.

So far today (Breakfast and lunch) I am at

Calories 195 - this is 1/2 Atkins shake and 1/2 Jiff Peanut Butter to go (+water)

What are you eating? I have been afraid to push myself to try more foods.

I am eating greek yogurt, Atkins shakes, High Protein oatmeal from Bariatric Choice, and High Protein Soup I got from Bariatric Choice. Frankly very tired of all of these things. Girl I would jump into mushies if I could!!! Maybe just try one new different mushie per day since you are concerned. Maybe that ricotta bake from eggface or something like that would be a good start!

I got my sleeve last thursday and would MUG someone for a Protein shake!!! I'm only getting in about 150 calories per day and am weak! My diet calls for Clear Liquids the first week. <huge sigh>

So 500 calories to me sounds awesome. I'm jealous!

Poor Cathy!!! Hoping for full liquids for you soon! I am weak too but geez I was eating about 3000 calories a day before so 500 is a shock! I suppose we should expect to be weak. This will so be worth it I am sure but today I feel annoyed!!!

LOL I understand. I feel annoyed too!!!

I am a revision from lap band to sleeve and was thinking it would be easier for me since i'm used to eating less, but not THIS LESS!!!

All I can say is the scale better be moving while I'm drinking just 150 cals/day! Or it may not because my body is probably thinking I'm starving it! Ugh!

I guess this too shall pass, right?

      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.
