Have pre/post op care package



Recommended Posts

Hi, all

I am 6 weeks out and doing great. I have quite a few packs of bariatric Soups, puddings etc I will never use. Also, some shake mixes with only a serving taken out. (My taster was not happy with Protein Shakes after surgery.) I know there are folks on limited income who could make use of what I have. Happy to put together a package and send your way...anywhere in US. PM me here if you are interested.

I also could not stand the taste of Protein shakes, Soups and puddings afterwards and also have some to give away as well. Please PM me as well if you'd like me to send them to you in the US as well. These are New Directions products that were sold through my bariatric office. If you're in the Lansing, MI area I can also drop them off or arrange for a pick up.

      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.
