Recommended Posts

Mine was cancelled from yesterday to possibly the August 14th, if I get better and asthma under control! To think, I was this close to having it done. Oh well things happen for a reason.

Hey guys, just thought I would check in, My surgery went well too, the doctor actually said the word beautifully. Recovery is recovery, I am sore and stiff and a little grumpy. My stomach is also growling but it is like it is in a foreign language now. I have no idea what it means

Well, you are beautiful, and he's as art man to notice! I am with you on the growling, I have no earthly idea how to figure out what my tummy needs. I think it will just be trial and error in figuring it out. It reminds me of when my first son was born; he would scream and cry and I would keep trying things until he stopped. That's how it is for me and my new baby tummy. I think I'm starting to be able to figure out what some of the rumbles mean.

How are y'all doing with liquid and Protein? ?? My mission today was to work hard at getting my numbers in. So far I'm at 26 grams of protein and 50 oz of liquid. Yesterday my numbers were horrible, due to swallowing issues an painful gas. I'm now counting down the days until I get to move to full liquids!!!! 3Days!!!

I know what you mean about getting all the liquids in I was so proud of myself today I finished a 16oz water bottle in 2 hours. The Isopure is a little harder to drink as fast.

Here's to a better tomorrow.

Mt stomach is still talking to me in a different language. but the good news is I only really have to use my pain medicine at night. Laying down s still pretty uncomfortable. I know I am not taking in my full amount of Protein. Water wise I am golden, I sip on it all day. Moving around is better too, but it is easy to over do it. It is like one minute I am fine and the next I am over my limit and dead tired.

      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.
