Almost One Week Post Op.



Recommended Posts

Had my sleeve done on 09/12/12. I lost 11 pounds Pre op and have lost an additional 14 since. My i weighed 340 on May 22,12 which is the day that my wife had Gastric Bypass. When I couldn't walk 50 feet on level ground without getting chest pain or short of breath it was so aggravating. I started watching my calories then. Lost a total of 31 pounds. I had my initial consult for a sleeve in February of this year. It's been quite a journey thus far. I weighed 318 for my consult then gained 22 pounds then lost 31 before I signed my surgical consents. When I started my Pre op I weighed 312 day of surgery I weighed 306 and at 6 days post op weight is 292. I must say to step on the scale and be under 300 is a accomplishment. I had thoughts that I made the worst mistake of my life but thankfully my wife is now 4 monts post op and is right by my side. This liquid diet is pretty brutal both physically and mentally. I'd like to be around 180. Just wanted to share my story so far.

      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.
