new to forum, 6.5 weeks post Op and question



Recommended Posts

Hi, discovered this forum today and so glad I have. Was sleeved just over 6 weeks ago, doing ok. I live in the UK and this op is fairly new here as a stand alone procedure, consequently the forums here are not brilliant. Am still in the process of 'lurking' about and looking at all the info.

I found a thread earlier (whilst at work) called 'hungry sleevies' or something very similar and now I cannot find it - could someone point the way back to it for me so I can finish reading it please? It is very pertinent to me as I was sooo looking forward to not being hungry anymore and unfortunately this has not been the case for me and this thread had some very useful info in it.

I self funded for my procedure and chose to do it before I got really big - I weighed 224. I have only lost 8 kg so far (17.6 lbs), this includes pre-op diet so as you can see my loss is VERY slow. I have always been a slow loser and am now trying to maximise my weight loss.

Don't regret any of it for one minute and am very positive that this was the right thing to do.

I probably wont post often as am more of a lurker, but thanks for having me!!

Tina

      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.
