A new me & bit frustrated!



Recommended Posts

I am 5 days post op. Feel great - too good I guess. What am I doing wrong because I'm hungry? A few crackers would be delightful!!

Down 30 lbs (5 since surgery) so pleased but I feel tired, sick of Protein Drinks and Soup. No regrets just frustrated!! Anybody tried unflavored Protein added to their Water or soup? Brand? Where to buy? Ugh I love all I'm learning about myself and food but wow anyone who says this is the easy way out of being fat needs a knock on the head!!! No picnic for sure!

I'm 11 days post op and completely understand. I haven't been able to tolerate any milk based Protein drinks. Fortunately, I had bought some unflavored Isopure powder before surgery. It's great. I am getting the majority of my protein from putting it in some Crystal Light right now. Although, I can put a little in my Soups and seem to do ok. You can find the Isopure at GNC and some online retailers. Good Luck! We'll be on mushies before we know it. I can't wait!

Thank you so much!! I feel better knowing someone is feeling the same way.

What does the above comment mean "wrong thread?" Did I offend someone? I'm new at this stuff- thought I started a topic.

Oh well Grubb79 thanks so much! When my pitty party is done I'm off to GNC! You really put some sunshine in my day. ????

I was typing a post and for some reason on my laptop the browser flipped back to this thread while I was typing and the comment for that post went on this thread instead of a different thread. Just a mistake.

      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.
