24 and 10 days post op



Recommended Posts

I need a support system. I was sleeved may 16th ad so far so food, minimal pain but the post op diet is really starting to get to me. It's beginning of summer and memorial weekend so everyone is off at bbqs and having fun while I choose to stay home. My husband is super supportive of everything but I don't want to keep him from living his life when this was ultimately my decision. It would be nice to have someone that can relate.

I'm at the "full liquid stage" so I can have blended Soups and Protein Shakes along with Water and broth... I see my dr Tuesday so I can get released to start the baby food portion for one week. After that I start soft foods which I'm very excited about. Could be worse I read things from people who had to be on full liquid for a month!

I went to a Kentucky Derby party 3 days before my surgery. A friend had smoked a whole hog and mint juleps were everywhere. It was hard, but I kept my Water glass in my hand at all times to keep them occupied. I drank a shake right before I went. I took a Protein Drink mix with me too just in case, but didn't need it. I just focused on socializing. No one noticed I didn't eat.

      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.
