8 days postop...feeling great!



Recommended Posts

Good morning fellow sleevers!! I woke up this morning feeling like a new person. I have really been going thru an emotional roller coaster since surgery. because I really missed all my comforts that food has brought. Angry because I was hungry and frustration because I'm still trying to gauge what is actually a sip. But today I looked at myself in the mirror and realized my face is slimming and my legs are looking normal and less like tree trunks!! This was the best and smartest decision I've ever made. My life is in such a good place and my support team is awesome!! My family has changed their eating also and my 5 year old is very conscious of good food and bad. I Luv it!!

Thanks! It is truly a lifestyle change. But once you embrace it and start seeing the weight fall off you won't look back! Good luck to you guys and I wish you a safe surgery and a speedy recovery!

Yea when I was 5 days I was thinking "what the hell have I done?!!" LOL. I cant wait to get out of this liquid phase. I think once I can eat a Lil more variety the better off I'll be.

      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.
