Thank Goodness For Silk



Recommended Posts

Never could stand drinking soy milk before surgery but boy have my tastebuds changed, I LOVE SILK lol. Especially the chocolate (which is odd because I never really cared for regular chocolate milk), it helps with the "I need something sweet" moments. Pretty much live on silk, Water, smoothies because nothing else is appealing or hurts my new belly but I don't really feel hunger and have to remind myself to drink frequently. So far recovery has been so much easier than expected...still really new but I have high hopes it will continue to go this well. I had VSG on 10/25 in Tijuana-heaviest wt 230, before preop diet wt 223, surgery wt 218, 5 day post op wt 206. I don't know where its going and I can't really see it yet but I stand on the scale 3 different times to make sure it's not lying to me lol. Feel blessed to have such luck thus far and keeping my fingers crossed it stays this way, never thought I'd ever say my biggest problem in day has been eating/drinking enough :)

I love Silk also. It is really good mixed with Protein makes it creamy and taste great. Never mix mine with Water. Your doing great. Good luck.

      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.
