3 WEEKS POST OP. AND SOOO HAPPY!



Recommended Posts

I am 3 weeks out and I'm feeling great, eating mostly soft, moist foods. Tonight I had baked Tilapia.

2 oz and a few brocolli sprigs and thought it was a feast! My incisions have pretty much

healed, and every food I've tried has given me no problems. Everyday I put on my jeans

and there loser:) I have lost16# since I was sleeved.

Just wanted to express myself cause I feel real good. To everyone just having surgery

my first week was rough, but after that it was all downhill. Be strong and hang in there

and you'll reap the rewards:)

Thanks for listening to me rant...

      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.
