Finally able to tolerate broth and scale issues



Recommended Posts

Ok! So it's been 5 days since surgery 12/27..I had only been able to do crystal light, ice pops and Water sparingly..today I finally had chicken broth! I will begin adding protein-although whey Protein gets me nauseous-someone recommended Soy protein. I finally able to tolerate more oz of liquids at a time. Jell-o was not even going down! Stocked my shelves with oatmeal and yogurt ready for Wednesday. I'm not seeing the scale go down though...however even if I hold a large item it tells me same weight. Go figure! Lol I'm thinking its best to wait for my doc apt for that?! I'm going to go nuts though unless I see that scale move. I keep thinking this WILL work it can't right???

At my 1 week post op visit last week, their scale showed a weight loss of 19 pounds. My scale showed a weight loss of 12 pounds. I'm trying to only weigh myself twice a week so I don't go crazy on those days nothing happens. It will work if we do our part. You are, so it will work!

I just ordered some soups! I have to add Protein somehow! They haven't gotten here yet! I will keep you posted on them!

There are many high Protein Soups you can order from my bariatric pantry and others. For example, Tomato Soup (15 G protein), chicken Soup (12 G protein)

      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.
