Felt Weird Being Out



Recommended Posts

Went to the mall to shop for my mother's bday gift today. I felt like I'd been locked in jail for weeks. I didn't last very long, about an hour, but I think it's a step back to normal.

I have not been out since my surgery besides the food store and the doctors. I finally got my eyebrows done yesterday. felt great. getting my hair trimmed up and colored tomorrow. I haven't worn jeans since my surgery (nov 2nd). I would love to put on a pair and feel good and dress myself up for thanksgiving but I'm afraid of my messing up my my cuts. lol.

Awwww.... Once you venture out it feels good so you do it a bit more each time you go out. In a very short time you will be back to normal.

I could not wear jeans for a long while just because of the way all my jeans waist band landed right on my incisions. Stretchy pants rule :) once your incisions are healing you can then were jeans. Just try them on now.. and ware them, sit down in them etc. just to make sure.... kind of test drive them :)

      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.
