1 Week Post Op Down 22 Pounds!



Recommended Posts

I am one week post op today. I lost 10 pounds on my 8 day pre op liquid diet. I lost 12 pounds post op for a total of 22 pounds! Hurray for me! I am super happy but worried for the day I get on the scale and nothing! I know, I know.... One day at a time. I only wish my brain could remember that! Power to the sleevers:)

Thanks guys! I can only have liquids right now: skim milk, low fat creamy Soups, Water, tea, sugar free hot chocolate, sugar free ice cream, Protein Shakes. I am having trouble drinking the Protein shakes. They're just not sitting well so I have milk instead. I know I'm not getting the 60 grams of protein in but my doc said for these 2 weeks do the best you can and stay hydrated! So, one day at a time. I expect when I get to the purée and soft solid stages the weight may not come off as fast but we'll see. It's not easy. I pretty much want a cheeseburger EVERYDAY! I keep fighting the good fight :)

      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.
