6 days post op & could use a pep talk!



Recommended Posts

Caitlin' date=' I felt like I was writing this! Thank you!!

I was sleeved June 3rd. First few days were rough and I am still not getting in enough Protein but am trying. Some days are better than others. Today I actually broke down and started crying. First time I was questioning myself.

I also appreciated everyone's response! Even though I plan to make better choices in my future, I want to be able to have pizza or a sandwich! I would be satified with 1 slice every once in a while! I guess my emotions have just been all over the place!

I have my first check up post op tomorrow. I have not stepped on a scale!

Thanks again to everyone!

Hi Karen, I'm 11 days post op and I feel the same way you do about making future healthy choices. I love pizza too, and there are some good recipes floating around the board like Ricotta Bake and Crustless Pizza. If you enter those in your search bar you can find them easily. :-)

Tomorrow marks one week since my surgery (6/6). Down 6 lbs since surgery. Down 29 lbs total. Full liquids start tomorrow--- so I cheated a little and had very runny grits tonight ( which is okay tomorrow--lol) -- they were oh-so-yummy!!! Just what I needed!! Ate a little too much too fast (little overly excited) and had some 'full' like pain that lasted for about 20 mins but boy, did I learn my lesson ;)

Energy level up & soreness is down-- feeling better everyday.

      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.
