Recommended Posts

Day eight for me. Still spend a lot of time in the recliner. Per doctor's orders, a minimum of 64 oz liquid and 100 grams Protein. Walk the block several times a day. Even drove the car for a spell today. Dying for pureed foods but that is another three weeks away.

One week post op I was in my recliner asleep. I came home with a sleeve' date=' an umbilical hernia and a severely sprained neck. I was still on T3 and major muscle relaxers. I slept several times a day AND all night. I didn't start to really become coherent till the middle or end of the second week... 3 weeks out and my neck is still sore and so is the repaired hernia, which I JUST strained catching myself from a fall this morning. UGH! :0)[/quote']

I had a really sore neck too!! So did another girl I met in the hospital. She went to her chiro on day 4 for it. I wonder what they did to us lol

I'm 10 days post op..started purée foods 2 day ago. I can only eat about 5-6 teaspoons at the most and I'm full. Definitely getting my liquids in. I feel awesome and I love how I can see the difference in my clothes already. Best decision I could have made.

I am day 20 and I still have 10 more days to go on full liquids. I can't wait until I can have puréed foods. Ricotta cheese, cottage cheese and mashed potatoes never looked so good!

Funny story:

The day I got home from surgery, I went to "breakfast" with my brother and dad. They had the special: eggs, potatoes, bagel, coffee - $5.49.

I ordered chicken broth and hot Decaf tea. They charged me for "soup" $3.99 and $1.99 for the tea.

You do the math...

      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.
