Jumped ahead in the post-op diet.......



Recommended Posts

Well I am on day 5 of the post op clear liquid diet and I am struggling a bit. I am so tired of juice and Water and broth smells are not setting well with me. So i decided to jump ahead a little and have some carnation instant Breakfast (hot). Im really only few hours shy of being day 6 when I could start but I just couldnt wait!! Having something warm seemed to help! I am looking forward to some Soups and Protein Shakes. I am struggling with wanting to eat though. But I cant figure out if I am physically hungry or head hungry and just missing solid foods that I love so much! I would love to hear from others going through similar situations. I would also love to hear from sleevers that are further along and let me know if i will ever again be able to enjoy the foods i love and miss just in smaller quantities.

I went to cream Soups the next day after coming home. I couldnt do the baby food, or the purred foods. I couldnt stand the texture. So I went to cream soups then chopped and a few days later small bites. I eat what I want except I dont eat sweets or carbonated drinks, vegetable Soup is the only thing that has made me sick and that was a few nights ago. I am 9 weeks post op. My Dr told me I was doing great and that I should be able to eat what I want.

I'm so ready to be able to move to cream Soups. My sleeve does not like cold drinks, it cramps to the point of nausea. I hold the drink in my mouth for a few seconds to warm it, but apparently not long enough. I do ok with broth, but that gets old after a while.

      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.
