4days out of surgery



Recommended Posts

What's the average you can drink of liquids throughout the day? I feel like I'm sipping all day.

I took the clear Protein drinks and split it between 3 Water bottles and stuck those in the freezer. The next morning I pull one out and fill the rest of the bottle with Water and sip on that. It gets in the fluids and Protein. Also the drink is gross so when it's super cold and watered down it's better. This kills two birds with one stone

Sip all night too. I couldn't seem to get rehydrated until I started keeping Water by my bed. I keep a 24 oz bottle by my bed. (3oz x 8hrs).

Just remember that you don't eat and drink at the same time. It's not an important distinction today, but it's coming soon. Try to think of nutritious liquids as food. Then Water is for thirst. That might help with the feeling you are "sipping all day". (My surgery was almost 3 weeks ago.)

I was sleeved march 2nd. I am four days out. Today I've managed 1 packet of unjury chicken Soup flavored Protein powder in 16oz of Water. One Isopure bottle and a can of beef broth and one Popsicle. I think sipping all day is in our future. Oh and a little grap juice. I'm stressed out making sure I get it all in.

      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.
