1St Post Op Visit Today



Recommended Posts

I had my first post op visit today and I can't even believe I lost 24 pounds in 8 days. OMG! The good thing is that I really needed something positive to hear, because I have been feeling like this maybe was a mistake. I keep telling myself this is a new healthier lifestyle that I needed. I encourage everyone to take it a day at a time. I don't think dwelling on the past or anticipating the future will do any good. Day by day is my motto. Lol

Wow...that's terrific! Congratulations. I think it's natural to question if you made the right decision, but in the end it's definitely right as the outcome is a healthier life.

      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.
