How about PF-ing?



Recommended Posts

Yes, productive farting! I have experienced this since day 2 after my surgery. The gas has been gurgling through my bowels like crazy, and of course I'm on a clear liquid diet. So, finally do the #2 and it's almost all liquid. Liquid poo, how lovely. And I have to be careful when I fart because it's not always just air..... and I've lost it in my undies a couple times. This sooo sucks. So let's just call this PF-ing. Something akin to PB-ing. I just thought we should have an official title for it.

I have read this happens quite a bit....the liquid, that is....Liquid in, liquid out. So I'm not fearing this will be my lot in life....but ick.

OK everyone for calling it PF-ing? And referring to it as such from now on?

Yep, that's a shart. You think it's a fart, and then OOPS! Nope, not a fart! Then you get to go change yer britches! Been there, done that. Way before banding, too, I might add... :)

      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.
