Question For Post Opers



Recommended Posts

You know how you can weigh one thing in the morning and then through fluids etc weigh up to 5 pounds later? Do you still fluctuate like that after surgery?

we all have so much in common, I have two special needs step children. I was blessed to be able to raise four healthy sons and now I have the extra blessing of being a step mom and helping these kids be all that they can be.

Pretty cool.

When the weight loss center asked about my support system, and concern about my special needs children, I said oh you don't have to worry about that they will HELP me. And they do. My stepson is 17 and has cerebral palsy and non verbal, but never shuts up, lol, he is like my little nurse when I am sick. My step daughter is 28 and her diagnosis is mild to moderate retardation. She can't read and mixes things up. But she works full time at Kroger and she is a great help. So maybe these kids are raising me.

      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.
