Recommended Posts

I'm home everyone! Came home on the 10th, Surgery was a success, and all week i have been tired. I just am trying to focus on getting my Water in. I've been sleeping so much and it's so hard to get the water in, but I've been up today, drinking my water and doing a lot of walking, so it's helping.

Just checking in-how is everyone doing? I have surprisingly little pain, just some twinges here and there but have no energy. I am getting in my fluids and Protein. I need to stop weighing myself because I haven't lost a pound this week-I lost 9 between Tuesday and Sunday then nothing.

I'm still having struggle getting Protein in, but other than that little discomfort sometimes but nothing I can't handle, I still get spasms in my stomach when I eat which hurt bad! And with the weight, I know how u feel, I lost 8lbs since surgery which was in the last 4-5 days of surgery and then nothing, it's annoying and stressful!!! But my dr said its normal right now! So I'm trying to stay away from scale. He said just worry about nutrition. But hopefully I lose more soon!

I am also struggling to get my fluids in. I have felt great and almost back to normal. I also had a possible incision infection but my surgeon cleaned it out yesterday and it seems much better now. As far as the scale, I'm down 9 lbs since the morning of surgery. Today it hurt a bit when I drank anything so I hope it feels better tomorrow. We have to stay strong and get through these few challenging days so we can reap the rewards of this surgery. We can do it!

Ok dropped 2more pounds and learned my lesson-I only need to weigh once a week. It is weird but my stomach feels different this morning-almost tighter.

      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.
