I wan to eat. Diet Questions



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on March 12th. Here we are the night of March 19th. Im dying for something to eat. I did a 30 day diet before surgery which I did great on and worked well for me. I lost a little over 20 pounds. Then the day before surgery was clear liquid all day, and since surgery Clear Liquids. I drink Water, a bit of juice, and if I can stand the taste, a couple sips of broth. For some reason I thought that at my first follow up visit, I went from just clear liquids to full liquids. But apparently I must have made that up in my head because it's not in my book they gave me. It only says that Protein Shakes can be added. I hate shakes. Every single one makes me vomit. I found one that I can drink a few sips of here and there and be ok. But that is it. I just want to eat something. Honestly, I don't care if I even swallow the food. I want to chew something. I want to taste something. I just want to feel like im eating something even if i'm not. Gum isn't an option for me because I swallow it very easily and that would be really bad. 2 weeks on just water, juice, and sips of broth here and there? Is everyone's post-op diet like this? When I go to my dr tomorrow im considering asking him if I can add any other kind of liquids to my diet like Tomato Soup or something so I can feel like im not going absolutely crazy.

When I was on week one I had SF Jello and SF Popsicles. At the hospital the gave me Ms. Dash for my broth and it made it so much better. At my one week follow up, I was allowed SF pudding made with Lactose Free 1% milk, Tomato Soup and Low sugar oatmeal. Call your Dr and ask bc everyone is different but I totally understand...by day 6 of Clear Liquids I was going nuts!!! Oh...I had my surgery March 11th. Hope it turns out well!!!

      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.
