Recommended Posts

Help me, please. I was up all night sick (post-op Day 4). I've still been quesy today. I also cannot seem to get in all the Fluid I need.

I've always drank A LOT of Water, but now I'm scared of drinking too much, too fast. I feel like I went a step backward last night. Being sick was HORRIBLE and I don't want to be that way again!!

First week is the hardest! Take your time drinking... I kept popping pain killers like candy ( very unlike me), take it if you need it. I also was unable to get all my liquid in and i made it through, just take it one day at a time ( hugs) .

I'm better today, but only had Water, a few sips of Protein Drink, 2 popsicles, and a few spoons of applesauce with my capsule meds. The other meds were crushed and put in a little water. I'm still on all of my meds as pre-op, except 3. I'm still a little gassy. I only walked once today. It has turned cold here and we had drizzling COLD rain.

      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.
