Drainage Tube Pulled/ Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Today I went to the doctor to get my weight checked and my drain pulled, weirdest feeling EVER! Hope I never have to experience that again. Since my pre-surgery diet I am down 20 lbs. Wooohoo! I plan to start walking now that I am off my pain meds so the lbs should start dropping.

It is the weirdest feeling ever! Kind of feels like a snake is being pulled out of you! Mine was so long the nurse pulled on it and stopped because she didn't believe how long it was. I had to tell her just keep going I want to get this over with! Your weight loss is great!! Just think about how your life is going to turn around........That will put a smile on your face! :)

I know I am super excited about the weight loss. Today was my first day in stage 3......I had crockpot chicken chopped and mashed carrots.......IT WAS AMAZING! I am so ready for this change.

Once you get to have food again it is amazing! You will find some of your foods will taste different for awhile and some longer. I found some flavors to be more intense and some just totally different. Just remember to chew your food really good and eat slow. Otherwise you will fill up in record time! Best of luck to you! :)

      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.
