Seven days post op and dreaming about food



Recommended Posts

Seven days out, pain mostly gone although it was much more than I expected. On the liquid diet for two more weeks and can't stop thinking about eating real food. I'm even dreaming about eating food. Does this get better?!?! I know it especially hard with it being Christmas and all, but Soup and Protein Drinks are making me crazy. 5'4" 31y/o SW 320 CW 302

I'm also 7 days out and don't know if it ever will. I am also struggling with breaking down and eating an scrambled egg. I WANT food. I'm so sick and tired of this Water, SF Popsicle and Jello. I have 1 & 1/2 week on Stage 1 (clear liquid) and 2 weeks after that (Stage 2, full liquids) Hell, I'm excited about stage two...lol

But hang in there, we'll be able to eat sooner than later

I dream about food too and get sad thinking about how I may not be able to tolerate my faves for a long while

I'm 16 days post op and feeling super weak --- hard to get in fluids and Protein due to hernia pain in chest and was in the ER on day 11 due to dehydration

I'm 31 and 5'7" --- surgery weight was around 236 and current weight around 217

Oh no! I'm super worried about this. My surgery is scheduled for Jan 19th. What's the eating plan after that? I have learned a lot but don't know what to expect exactly. I meet with the nutritionist on the 14th to discuss diet post op. What can I expect?!

      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.
