Any September surgeries out there



Recommended Posts

Amanda - so sorry to hear you are not feeling well... I hope that changes soon...

but as for your bf, he needs to get his crap together. If he can't be supportive for a couple of weeks... well, he's a real piece of work. Tell him to put down the pizza and the video games, and help you the f out... and if he starts to complain, remind him that karma can be a real b... and that it is going to go both ways when he needs a little bit of help.

And if he is still a jerk, sign him up for an account here, and we can give him a little guidance on how to behave as a human being with a soul and a conscience

I'm really starting to worry because I'm not even 2 weeks out and can easily eat 4 oz of refried Beans and pureed chicken without feeling full or uncomfortable. And I snuck two bites of salad yesterday without any issues. It's going to be so hard for me to stick to this diet knowing that nothing is bothering my stomach at all

Probably bc the bean and pureed chicken are so liquid it moves quickly into your intestines. Maybe when you start eating solid food with bulk it will do it. If not then you will have to psych yourself into thinking that you will get full and you have to stop.

      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.
