How Are U All Coping With Not Being Able To Eat Bbq Today On 4Th Of July?



Recommended Posts

I'm 7 days out and almost tired of eating broth, Jello etc..I'm taking it one day at a time because I do need to lose the weight and regain my good health back...I knew it was going to be days like this before the surgery...I'm just praying to heal and to be able to eat a grill salad again one day...Happy 4th of July!!

I know how you are feeling. My day was Memorial Day. But even if you tried you would be in so much pain. Just think of the good thing you have just done for yourself!

I totally understand. I have been going crazy with liquid diet. Today we were at a pool party and everyone was eating hotdogs and such... I asked if I could heat up some Soup .. Ugh... Hopefully I can eat something that I can use my teeth for...

I can say honestly that it didn't really bother me. I am making noise to my DH just because I can, but the thought of eating ribs really didn't appeal to me. Strange? It seems strange to me! I am still on liquids, but I didn't miss eating them. I didn't crave a taste. I am sick to death of my liquids, but nothing cooked today spoke to me like it would have prior to surgery.

I suppose it was kind of easy for me. I just stayed away from family get-togethers. But the reason I didn't go is because of menstral stomach cramps. I've just been laying around all day, drinking my juices and Water and Protein shakes. I haven't smelled any BBQ, so I haven't missed it.

Now that darn Olive Garden commercial where they keep showing the creamy Pasta slipping and sliding onto the plate? That's another story entirely! :P

Well today I decided to not go to any bbqs or anything. Instead I went to see the movie Ted with my boyfriend and mom haha. I am going to eat some pureed black bean Soup, and a quarter cup of mashed up potatoes for dinner, then I'm heading over to a family house for some fireworks (: That way I didn't have to see anyone eating their lovely bbq, and I still got to enjoy the day!

I had surgery on June 28th. I don't know what my weightloss is because I haven't weighed myself. I am going to let my doctor do it tomorrow at my 1 week follow up. I am on clears basically until tomorrow. I start full liquids tomorrow. I am ready for pureed! I want some Beans or some tuna! Something that is not completely liquids! If I NEVER see chicken broth again...

I am also one week out. Today was the first day the head hunger has messed with my head. I have not felt hunger or even been tempted to eat until today. Come on purées.

Doing good! I even surprised myself! Second day for pre op diet and no cheating not even once. My surgeon has me on a high Protein, salad veggies (no tomoates, no fruit, no bread, no Pasta, Beans or corn) diet.

Just keeping the eye on the prize. I was disappointed with my family, they told me they would have veggies for me. I ate cucumbers and low fat meats and a SF cherry Jello, that I split with my 18 month old.

It is so worth it!

This was the same plan as me :) and I tolerated the puréed black bean Soup and quarter cup of a mashed potato really well! And let me tell u I feel sooo much better now. It really helped calm my head hunger!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
