FIRST WEEK POST OP- CRAVING LOW FAT CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM



Recommended Posts

Is your husband with you? You need some support on your end does he know you are struggling? It might be time to cut your visit short and go home. I was not up to to much socializing the first few weeks. And I did mine at thanksgiving I was not strong enough to be around people eating. And that's ok. Take care of yourself right now.

Thank YOU. yes he's been so good to me. EXTREMELY I SHOULD SAY. Im going to let him know.

You should definitely consult your doctor on his/her plan for your first couple of weeks. I know that some doctors do only Clear Liquids the first two weeks, and then "full liquids" the second two. My doctor, on the other hand, does anything liquid during the first two weeks, as long as it is the consistency to be sipped through a straw (BUT DON'T USE A STRAW - TO MUCH AIR/GAS). Of course, Protein needs to be FIRST PRIORITY. I have been doing lentil Soup put through the blender, and fat-free greek yogurt. I have also been doing drinks that I ordered through American Bariatric - both their clear Fruit Drinks (a little like Crystal Light), and their cappucino mix (delicious - I mix it with warm coffee - 15 grams of protein and 90 calories!).

My instructions were to go from clear liquids to full and that was continue all the clear/see thru liquids I had before and now can add creamy soups-but No lumps or chunks. When I am on Soft diet I can progress to cereals/oatmeal. Hopefully Hopefully, I can go to soft at the end of next week!!. I have to get 40 grams of Protein in daily!

The ones I've seen are still really high in calories and carbs, unfortunately.

      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.
