Looking for 7/22/14 surgery buddy



Recommended Posts

Thanks y'all! They are definitely the same ones! My grandma, I love her to death don't get me wrong, but she is the worst about this. She is the first to comment about me getting too big, or putting on "a little" weight. But after hearing that I was going to have surgery, she says "well then, I guess you don't want to eat what I cook anymore" like my decision had something to do with her. I can't just go over there to spend time with her or to take the kids to see their great granny. No, it has to be a big to do with a four course dinner and all the fixin's. She means well, I think, but doesn't see anything wrong with the way she eats.

I am in awe of all of you who are back to work today! I just ran to CVS and thought that I had made a big mistake! Took an hour and a half nap afterwards! My left incision site is still very painful. I guess it's because they removed my band from there, too. My dr. had me working on getting 60 grams and 60 oz. starting day two! I must admit it hasn't happened quite yet. Lots of gas, but not feeling nauseous. Anyway, that's what's going on with me now. I think of all of us, and know that we have made the right decision. Have a great day, everyone!

Honestly, the Fluid intake alone keeps me so full I don't want much else. I'm really worried about how I'm going to get in enough Protein.< /p>

Has anyone tried the 42g Protein Shots?

I'm in the same boat, and I'm still not getting enough of either thing. I drank a 42g shot today. Slowly obviously! It was nasty, but I got at least 42g drank today!

Lol I can deal with nasty if it knocks out half my Protein requirements. They sell them at Walmart. I'll be going there tomorrow.

You guys are stronger than I am! I can't do nasty. I tried (and tried again) the Isopure drinks, and I just can't do them. Are the shots just that--shots? If it's a lot of Protein in a small amount, then maybe. I did the Unjury chicken Soup a couple of times yesterday, and that seemed to work well as along as I drank very, very slowly. I get some gas from it, but I can manage that as long as the protein is going down.

Day 2 at work. Not as excited as I was yesterday. I miss my bed.

its 3.8 ounces, so four medicine cups. I am going to Walmart at lunch. This will save me while I am traveling. Nasty or not I like my hair, and I am afraid of Hair loss if I dont get in enough Protein.

I was told that those shots are the wrong type of Protein. They are the collagen protein and I think we are supposed to be getting isolate. I would ask the nutritionist. Also, I was told that you can only really use about 20-30g of protein in one hour, so if you drink the whole shot your body would just waste the other 10-20g of protein. If you do the shot, do half one hour and wait for the other half until a couple hours later.

Crap. I suppose I will research the shots a bit more before I decide to use those. Thanks for the information!

      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.
