Calling All August 28Th Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I know I'm not getting enough in, but I gag when I try to drink them too. I LOVE Premier Protein and Atkins, but my doctor said those aren't allowed on his pre-op diet, so I'm trying to follow the rules. Everyone says it gets better after the 3rd day, so we should all start feeling better soon.

I started drinking shakes on my 3rd day post-op. I discovered that I'm lactose intolerant, so I can't even have my fave, Premier Protein. When do you start shakes?

Not even if you add the lactase drops to your shakes?

They work like lactaid tablets(lactaid used to market the drops too)only they come in a dropper bottle and you add drops to your milk or other dairy products.I used them years ago. I just read that they are hard to find in stores now but can be ordered online. I believe it is the same type of product that Lactaid adds to its dairy products.The drops don't taste like anything once they are mixed in they can be added to a whole gallon of milk and people would not notice anything different.

So we're all coming up on almost 3 weeks out...how is everyone doing? I am SO EXCITED that I get to start puree/mushy foods tomorrow!! Having a bit of numbness on my tongue..wonder if it's from all of the sugar-free food/drinks, but other than that, so far so good.

Wish I could start purée but my doctor calls for one more week of liquids! Ugh! The good news is I'm down 10 pounds in 2 weeks and I'm out of the obese weight and just overweight now. Yay.

      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.
