14 Days Out. Am I Eating And Drinking Too Much?



Recommended Posts

I am 2.5 weeks out from my surgery and I often think that I too eat too much, for example, today I had a 4 to 6 oz protien shake for Breakfast some chicken broth w saltine crakers for lunch. dinner was chicken and stars Soup, and I also had about 5 pieces of sandwich meat with cheese and I have had Water to drink today with a 8oz glass of juice. I know I am a little further out than you but I still get a little concerned.

My only thought is are you getting in enough Protein each day. This is the most important to keep your body functioning well.

I got sleeved on 9/18, I started stage two on 9/19, a typical day for me includes the following.

Portion sizes should be 3-4 ounces or the size of your palm.

i also try and drink addtl Fluid throughout the day.

This is all guidlines by my nutrtionist, and i am down about 30 pounds 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.
