Post-Op Wet Dreams...

I made something the other night that really hit the spot: watermelon, ice and half a lime squeezed into a blender and buzzed. It was sooo refreshing and not carbonated. I made sure there were no seeds in the watermelon chunks first. You might like it :)

That sounds great! I fear that I would be tempted to add a squeeze of lime and a few shots of tequila for my favorite watermelon margarita. Hmmm....

i was told no carbonation. but who knows? one of the million times i was trying to wean my H off of his coke addiction, we got bottles of flavored Syrup, and made italian sodas. they do come sugar free, though i dont do artifical sweeteners. you can order syrups at www.monin.com . it didnt break my H's addiction, but i loved it and far less sugar than soda pop.

when i was in the hospital, i dreamed of food. not since then though.

I gave up carbonation and caffeine cold turkey

Coke is bad. It's like drinking battery acid. More a nightmare than a dream. I tried some about 4 months out, and ran around the room yelling OW OW OW sh*# sh*# sh*#! Don't want to go near it ever again.

I drink coke and other soda sometimes. Im 3 1/2 months out. It's actually soothing to me and helps me burp. I also found a low calorie way of having some fizz. I tried flavored seltzer Water and crystal light. :)

Carbination stretches your stomack due to the gas. Not a good idea. Flat coke zero maybe. Just saying

      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.
