Good luck to everyone of us this month who is having surgery. I am scheduled to have my surgery first thing Wednesday morning. I have to be at the hospital at 5:45 am. Hopefully I will be home on Thursday night around 5pm. I am nervous looking forward to eating real food again. I have been on 3 weeks of protien shankes I will know my exact weight tomorrow when I go in for my final weigh in.

What Multivitamins is everyone going to take after surgery. I am going to buy some tomorrow night. I need to call everyone in my family just to give them an update.

Hopefully this time on Wednesday I will be in recovery or in my room.

My surgery is 4/18 and I am so nervous. I am über prepared, I made a huge pot of turkey bean Soup, puréed, frozen and ready to go. I take the Bariatric fusion Vitamins ans really like them. It's simple. One pill 3x per day.

I ordered the chewable complete MVI from Celebrate in forest berry. They're expensive but I thought for the first month after surgery they would be important. They kind of just dissolve in your mouth. The dietitian just said to not get a Gummy and do a chewable that says "complete." Flintstones makes one, but I don't like them.. Good luck everyone!

Bad Request

There was an error in your request.

(none)

Drink lots of fluids I make a pitcher of crystal light (or any type of sugar free kool aid) and a pitcher of Water. I alternate drinking one then the next one. I get in about a gallon of Water in a day. I have given up sodas for the most part for about 2 months now. I have one every now and then but try and stay away from it.

When I get hungry I drink a glass or water or crystal light. If I am still hungry I drink a teaspoon of pickle juice or banana pepper juice to give me some flavor. It is not that bad and it wont hurt you. Be strong remember we need to get out livers as small as possible so the doctor has plenty of room to work.

      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.
