Fabulous February Post-Op's



Recommended Posts

Okay so I made sure I ate 3 meals today. I got all my Protein in and all my fluids. I deep cleaned house today and worked up a good sweat so that was my exercise. I am hitting the gym again in the am. I need to figure out something new and fun to do cause I am bored with the tread mill. I am trying to prepare for the dirty girl mud run in April. I am very excited about doing it! It is a 5k I believe.

So I just got out of the shower and realized the drain was clogged because of my hair :( I think the falling out process is kicking in. I credit this to last week of not eating properly. Luckily I have really thick hair so hopefully it wont be to bad or continue since I am back on track.

Ok so today is day 9 after my surgery and I'm on the full liquid phase. I tried a protien shake with skim milk but couldn't drink more than an ounce of it? Has anyone else had an issue with drinking protien shakes? Should I try mixing it with Water instead?

I definitely mix my shakes with water, and I water them down a bit more than the instructions call for. Then sip, sip, sip...

I can't do the thick snotty shakes either, I've tried several post-op and gag and gag....it's crazy!!! I'm living off the Syntrax Nectars, I dilute them a lot then add a crystal light packet to cover the Protein taste....they aren't perfect but much better than the shakes.< /p>

Ivebeen taking extra strength Tylenol tablets since a few days post-op without any problem....ask your doc but as long as they aren't enormous or slow/delayed release you are likely okay!

I ever thought the highlight of my day would be pooping....makes me feel like I've accomplished something major :D

      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.
