Recommended Posts

Time to start counting down!!! Getting more nervous everyday!!! I feel a little over whelmed, been looking over all my papers from Dr. and trying to get a menu planned for a couple of days after surgery. Dont want to have to worry about it when I'm tired and trying to get fluids in and walking!!! God bless everyone hope you all well in your journey!!!

Best of luck to you!! I am eight days post-op. I don't know what kind of diet you have to follow post-op but I wasted a lot of time before surgery preparing different pureed meats. I froze them in ice trays. I threw them away yesterday. I ended up making taco meat, pureed that and put some cheese and mashed avocado on top. Then I made a wonderful roast in the crock-pot from theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com. Delicious. It looked like cat food all whizzed up, I'm not gonna lie but it tasted great!! Lol!! For some reason, the stuff I had frozen just made me so nauseous to even think about eating it. I am now on a soft diet and it's wonderful. Another friend on here suggested that I get up as soon as possible after surgery. I did. The day of surgery I walked 16 laps around the nurse's station. Ever since I have come home I have walked at the park for at least 30 minutes every day. I feel great!! I have struggled to get in all of my Fluid and Protein since the first full day I was home but it's really paid off. I feel great!! I've lost 14.5 pounds. I was nervous as well. I do nap when I get tired but you won't necessary feel tired all of the time. I sure haven't. Hope this helps.

If you don't mind me asking, what was your starting weight?

My starting weight before preop diet was 275lbs. But this is my 2nd surgery. 16 years ago my start weight was 425lbs. I had been sick and found out that my problems were caused by a fistula (an opening in my staples) I had to have my stomach removed and had to have new stomach about 4oz. I seem to be loosing more but recovery is so slow for me. Having swelling and only one bowel movement.

      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.
