5 Days Out and Feeling Soooo Much Better!



Recommended Posts

Hello Sleeved To Be's and Sleevers! lol I can't thank you all enough for all the positive feedback an encouragement given my way these last couple of days. I thought I wasn't going to make it! lol The first 3 days was so damn uncomfortable and I felt so sick. You all helped me push thru it and today the gas is better, I'm taken in more liquids, I FINALLY used the bathroom (#2), TMI but it has to be said, it is such a relief!!! lol How are you all doing today? :)

Hi Boutique - surgery same day as yours - I agree - today has definitely been the breakthrough day - I think anyone who has had the surgery doesn't consider that TMI - they know your happiness lol. This was a rough few days but I'm really seeing some positives today!

Thank you both, it is reassuring to hear that your recoveries are proceeding so well. I'm in countdown mode waiting for my September 3rd date in the OR.

      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.
