Starting To Feel Normal Again....



Recommended Posts

I will complete my 4th week tomorrow. Last night I ate a small handful of cashews. I know they are high fat, but I think it was a turning point for me. They were so good and did not bother me at all. That is the most normal I have felt since surgery. I can do this!

Nuts are a good fat!! As long as it's in moderation and your sleeve can handle them, go for it!! Congrats!! I remember my turning point was at about 4 weeks too. I felt so relieved. Elated. Like 'NOW my new life starts and I can do this!' Is that kinda how you feel?

Me too! I was just 4 weeks yesterday and ate some chicken curry and rice for dinner. I too then looked at my husband and said 'look at me. Eating like a normal human being!' I have so much more energy now too.

Keep it up.

Oh I loved cashew nuts and almonds ! I could handle them at the end of week 3 I think , when I had trouble eating even mashed potatoes..

Hang in there.. you need 2 more weeks to feel much better..

      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.
