November Dates



Recommended Posts

First week I wasn't really focused on Protein mainly fluids. I'm almost two weeks out now and I'm up to about 60 grams a day but that's a struggle. The fluids have been ok since I am mainly on Protein Drinks. No other way to hit that number. Hang in there.

Thanks! I figured being focused on the protein would kill 2 birds @ once since they are liquids anyways! Ill keep at it then! :) I feel great though! Not hungry since I woke up from the operation and not even head hunger! Its amazing. I wonder if I'll get it later....

I had my surgery last Tuesday, and so far I'm doing well. Still on Clear Liquids, tomorrow I start the Protein Shakes. Oh how I'm looking forward to the Protein shakes. Water and tea is good, but a new flavor will be very welcomed. I still have gas pains, but not as bad at the beginning. I know that to will soon pass. I have no craving for junk food or food for that matter, but I do find it insulting that when I go to department stores etc. food is in our faces at every turn, however, the jokes on them now, because they don't have me doing any impulsive buying anymore. So there! I guess ya gotta have a sense of humor, to get through the pig out season.

Just home from the hospital tonight. Surgery was 11/26. Having trouble getting anything in...water, Protein, Jello, broth. The idea of it makes me sick. I had complications so I don't want to go back to the hospital but I can't get anything in. Any advice?

Oh Man my liquid diet was only 2 days and I swear I wanted to kill someone I was so snappy!

Hang in there it is SO worth it!!!!

I went on a full cleaning frenzy for 2 days. The morning of the surgery... I was exhausted from cleaning all day sat and sunday which was almost kinda great cause I slept the majority of the time i was waiting in the preop area lol

You CAN do it!!!! Your hubby should understand or at least just let it roll of his shoulder. Your going thru alot right now.

Lisa: focus on Water, in some form, for hydration. It's the most important right now. I really didn't start Protein until over a week out. I had complications also and a second surgery. So far so good. Hang in there. It does get better. :-).

I felt the same way before . It is ok take some deep breaths take a bath and say good bye to your old body. You will do great it will be over before you know it and you will be on to the new you. You did not go thru all that just to turn back.

Don't cancel! You will be fine. The first week is pretty rough but each day gets better. You can do this. Heck If I can anyone can.

      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.
