Recommended Posts

today is sunday february 3rd. today is the superbowl and also my BIRTHDAY!!! i am 5 days out (i got sleeved on tuesday the 29th of Jan) and feel pretty good. gas and stomach pain has seemed to give me a break today. it's almost 2:00 EST here in boston and I haven't taken any pain meds yet. i start my day with my 2 chewable Centrum Vitamins (btw i def need liquid centrum. i don't the like the taste or smell of the chewable). then i drink like a Sobe Zero Water or Vitamin Water Zero. then i take my sublingual B12. then i'll have a water bottle. (all slow sips of course). then i'll take a quick 10 minute walk outside. then come back, try like a special K drink or i'll have the instant carnation Breakfast with a little ice and fat free milk. then my Calcium tablet. then more water. then maybe another vitamin water. sometimes if i feel hungry i'll make Tomato Soup for dinner. then i take my 2nd calcium tablet. more water so on and so forth. been showering daily and i love it. needed it too lol. Just wanted to share. hope i'm doing the right thing. hope this helps others too. any questions or tips please feel free to comment or leave me a private message. thanks, Mark

Don't really have any advice b/c I'm still pre-op. But it's great to find a fellow Bostonian on here! Best of luck and Happy Bday. I'll bet it'll be a memorable one, because it's the year your life changed for the better!

      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.
