Grant Me The Strength!



Recommended Posts

So my office decided this morning to shut down for lunch and have a pizza and popcorn party! Day 5 of 14 liquids...I had my lovely Protein Shake which normally fills me up, but the heavenly aromas surrounding me in the break room are making my stomach growl like crazy. Finally locked myself in my office! Just say NO :)

Pretty strict...if it won't go through a straw, I can't have it. No sodas or alcohol though...lol

I can have low fat creamy Soups and blenderize chunks, which is nice.

I can have SF Jello and SF popsicles, but no SF pudding, which I was really disappointed about. And this struck me as odd, since they say to crush meds postop and mix in unsweetened applesauce, but I can't have that preop :(

1st 3 days, hunger wise weren't too terrible, but I developed headaches each day and had a heck of a time with focusing/concentrating on anything. Now that I am past that 3-4 day hump, I think my body has adjusted. Getting better concentration and no more headaches :)

      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.
