Day 13 Pre-Op And Having A Bad One Today.



Recommended Posts

Woke up today and all I keep thinking about is a pizza or steak. Come on already, I have been very strict and disciplined so far. Now I am trying to rationalize to cheat, what bull hockey pucks! Today is going to suck but have not quit yet. Just had to rant, sorry.

You are totally normal!! At this stage you are sick to death of sweet shakes and want something savory. Hang in there. I am 7 weeks out and the obsession with food gets easier as you are able to eat more things.

I echo what franfaith said. All I could think about was food when I was still on liquids. Once you start eating softs and solids, it will go away. Are you to pureed stage yet? I found just getting new tastes into my mouth helped a lot. If you are not, then try a new Soup, something savory like vegatable soup, cream of Tomato or clam chowder (strained). Hang in there...it will pass. Just DON'T give in and eat pizza or steak yet! It's too early, but I am sure you know this! :)

You can get through it! Last night I had a dream about being at the store picking out the most awesome ice cream sandwich ever and woke up craving one. Just trying to keep it off my mind. I know if I ate it I'd feel bad, and it's just not worth it!

When I was craving pizza I made myself some shredded chicken with a little pizza sauce and some fat free mozzarella. High Protein, low carb, and helped a little.

Don't feel bad, I'm not even a week out and all I can think about is pizza or olive gardens unlimited Pasta bowl.

      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.
