My first NSV and it is personal and TMI



Recommended Posts

I am 3 weeks post op today and while I was in the shower this morning I had no problem washing my back side as I once did 3 weeks ago. I have never shared this with any other soul and I must say I feel wonderful.

Even though I dnt see any loss I feel a little different.

Sorry if this was to much info I needed to share

I understand. I posted something similar [in some post] re: not having to make all those contortions to get to places! I always got to them before, but now, it's so much easier. LOL.

I can also scratch/reach the upper small of my back from either direction. Just everything.

I can't wait for that too! But I'm only 3 days out so I'm patient. Another thing I can't wait for is the "gap" you know the one the sun can go thru between your upper thighs and your coochie, yeah gap check please lol!

That gap thing has a lot to do with your hips, losing weight might not give you what you're looking for. Not saying it to be discouraging, but didn't want you to place too much hope on it.

I guess I'll just have to pay some extra attention to my hips when I go back to the gym!

Thank 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.
