Just shy of 6 weeks



Recommended Posts

I will be 6 weeks post op Wednesday but had my way in with nutritionist today. 41 lbs lost!!! Woooooohoooooooo!!! I am 4 pounds away from never seeing 300 on the scale ever again!!

The last month has been on and off with good days and bad days. But I'm slowly getting my new stomach figured out. I literally forget/can't eat most of the day so then it's a mad dash to try and stuff all my Protein in, but my nuts been a BIG help with that- my new best friend is powdered milk. Pretty easy to get Protein in that way and avoid yucky protein shakes!! Lol

All in all I feel like I'm moving in the right direction. Clothes are a little looser, family members are noticing, I have more energy for my kiddos. Can't help but smile everyday now!! :)

      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.
