1 Week Post Op. Feel Like I Made A Big Mistake



Recommended Posts

If you can get it shipped to Saudi' date='try unjury.com, it was the only protien I could stand after surgery. They even have a starter kit, a couple of sample packs of each flavor they offer.

As far as should or shouldn't you... You have decades of living to do, take time and let yourself heal, get to know your new body, and trust your instincts more then what you 'hear you should do'. Your body will tell you if it's not ready for something loudly, clearly, and quickly, lol.[/quote']

Nope. Tried that already! Thanks.. I'll take it easy and follow my instincts

I would say get weight loss surgery for dummies as well, I've heard that is really good. I would totally focus on getting your Water in and some Protein, That muscle milk should be fine. What I think is more odd is that he isn't telling you to take your Vitamins. If I were you I would start taking Multivitamins, calcium citrate, Iron and B-12. Just because he didn't tell you to take it doesn't mean it'll hurt! just make sure it's chewable or liquid. also, if you eat and feel like you are going to throw up I notice that B-1 really helped me. I am not a doctor, I can only tell you what I would do.

He has prescribed Vitamins. He has prescribed me with Minadex. Its like a childrens Syrup. He asked me to yake calpol for the pain at home. Its for children!! But he hasnt told me to get calcium citrate specifically.

There was no mention of how much time to take to eat or drink nor did they tell me not to eat with meals. All this I know is by reading online.

      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.
