Recommended Posts

So one week out. Going back to work tonight. Have to do a couple weeks of GRAVEYARD yuck!! I feel fine. I have hypothyroidism. I am hungry all the time though. I have to admit I cheated a little and had some cottage cheese and mashed potatoes. I'm supposed to wait another week but the liquids aren't cutting it. No pain really. A slight bubbly feeling sometimes that feels like I have a leak or something but proBably just internal rumblings cause I'm not sick no fever etc. I'm a police dispatcher so no physical hard work. I'm more in pain about working graveyard then over my surgery. Well thanks everyone for being so candid on here. It helps me allot to see I'm where I need to be and what's ahead. I had lost 100lbs naturally 6 years ago. Kept if off for 5 years had $30,000 worth of tummy tucks boob job face lift then gained it all back from emotional eating. I don't want to fight this fight anymore. I hope this is the end if my battle and that the weight gain didn't completely ruin all this plastic surgery I already did.

Hi Im also a dec 20 sleever.. I dont go back to work til Jan 7th. dr orders.. I felt hungry at first on that post op diet too.. but you know that went away about the 5th day.. I did not cheat.. I have advanced on to the next phase for which they have listed what I can eat.. now I eat and get so full.. had to learn what the full was.. that stuck in your throat gurgling feeling in my stomach..and no drinking 30 min before or after eating a semi solid food.. eggs or mashed potatoes or boiled ones... havent tried Jello or pudding yet.. plus I cannot drink much of the creamy Soups yet either.. but I do love the sugar free popsicles.. those are yummy. if you stick with the program you should be ok.. ive lost 20lbs so far.. so im very happy about that.. waiting for things to come for me.. having a hard time imagining eating reg foods again.. im like wow one bit and im full.. and then to have to eat a whole cup at meal time.. lol for the first time im like.. I cant do that.. so I should be ok.. trying to get all my Protein in is hard in the beginning until you can eat other foods.. I get about 40-50. doc said for me that was ok for now and keep trying.. so I will.. let me know how you are doing. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
