Weight gain, two weeks out from sugery



Recommended Posts

I am so afraid of Hair loss, so I'm going to try the premier, & at the hospital where I got my surgery they have ungery so I'll give that a try too if the premier doesn't sit well. It's so hard when my family eats dominos pizza & McDonald's & subway, Culver's & Arbys. Sometimes I'm tempted to take a slice of dominos & lick it. But I don't, I'm a good girl. But the temptation is so hard. Ugh, I find it so hard with all these foods I used to eat & love smelling up the house. I'm 3weeks now & I was told one Protein Drink a day but it just seems odd when were not getting Protein any other way. Has any of your Drs. or nutritionalist said any different ?

I would say at least 2 Protein Shakes a day if you aren't getting enough through food. That's what my NUT said at least. You need a MIN of 60 grams a day of protein.. (Yeah right) but I can manage at least two shakes which is about 46 grams.

Mine said two a day or at least 60 grams. I'm only 4 days out now and only managed to get down an ounce or two of premier yesterday.

      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.
