Whats The Worst Thing You've Eaten Post Op?



Recommended Posts

last night was the first time I ate off plan since surgery and I felt SO ashamed of myself afterward.. basically I was driving home and felt super crappy from this icky cold I have and I was hungry (I normally don't really get hungry anymore but I'm thinking it mighta been because I was so sick and my body/immune system needed more calories).

Anyway the only thing around was a Taco Bell and I got one taco. I ate about 2/3 of it and was stuffed. I still can't believe I did that, it SO wasn't worth it. It was what I like to call "old behavior" because I use to eat from drive-thru's constantly when I was pre-op. Oh well... a buddy of mine says that the definition of success is "to correct upon awareness". So now I'm aware and I have a choice to correct that behavior when it comes up again.. guess we are all still learning to make better choices..

I'm a little less than 2 weeks post-op and I drank a couple of sips of Pickle Juice. Crazy, I know, but I LOVE, LOOOOVE pickles and miss them terribly. :(

I'm 9 weeks and I don't tolerate pickles anymore. But I can drink Pickle Juice in case of a leg cramp! Who would have thought

      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.
