So far so good.....



Recommended Posts

Day 5 tonight and no throwing up, gagging or anything. Only time I had it was the night after surgery. Had dry heaves once and that was before I could start on liquids. Drinking that upper GI Syrup crap almost made me puke but I was able to control it. Water has been tasting like metal lately. Tried Poweraide zero today and is not to bad. Also tried chicken noodle Soup (just the broth) and that was a great treat! Keeping up on my walking each day seems to be helping cause I can walk longer distances each day. Stopped taking the pain medicine (perkaset) yesterday at 9am. More of just a soreness at the two larger incision area but is getting better each day. Have no problem keeping things down. Sticking with the Jello Soups Poweraide zero water. Apple juice seems a little strong right now. Maybe if I do half and half. So far so good.

      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.
