Need Some Encourgement



Recommended Posts

So helpful! Thank you! Now that I'm on day two of the pre op diet, I'm a little less anxious. Feeling. Pretty good. No more bloated belly from the crap I normally eat. And I'm doing the work, which keeps me distracted. When I'm waiting around for something to happen that's when I start letting my anxiety take over. Keepin busy! Weird tho to not be eating food, ESP dinner with my man, when it's such a natural instinct. But I'm doing quite well with the liquids so far. 6days to go!

Day two of liquids is ending in fatigue and headache. I'm on call for work tonight, so gonna lie down for a bit and build up some energy. Hopefully these are signs of withdrawals that'll soon pass.

      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.
