Recommended Posts

Hello!!!

I was sleeved on April 17th (New York, insurance pay). I feel good physically, I am doing really good as far as puree-ing and liquids go. I have been getting in all my Vitamins, I always have a bottle of Water near by. Eating (still call it that even though it's liquids) is tuff it's not really comfortable (with the exception of the Greek yogurt today that went down smooth) I am not sure of a full feeling because I actually just stop because it's tuff... I am sure I will work all the feelings out eventually... I have a nutritionist, love her I am pretty much just following what she has said to do, with my two week fast and surgery combined my weight loss is 24 pounds... I am no where near perfect, physically not hungry BUT me and my brain would love to eat Mexican, or Mc Donald's!!! I have been having weird dreams that I did all of this and it won't work??? Just looking for stories and feedback maybe a few new "understanding" friends.

~ I wish all of you nothing but happiness and success-Desiree

I'm doing good; I am with you; I don't feel full but I feel a slight tightness in my sternum and then I quit eating. I keep a bottle of Water with me at all times and ive drank probably 24 oz of water today. For my morning meal I had tunny oatmeal with injury strawberry powder added. I had the same thing for lunch. I only ate half of the package of oatmeal in those two meals. For dinner I had potato Soup. I ate about two oz and then waited and then ate another two oz. I added the chicken flavored unjury powder to try and get some Protein in.

I wonder if retried Beans with milk added to get it to a liquid consistency would be ok... I think I'm going to try that tomorrow

      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.
