1yr out patients



Recommended Posts

I am about to hit my one year mark in a few months and was curious to see how much everyone eats at this point. I am also proud to say that I no longer have high blood pressure anymore at the age of 26..whoohoooo

Are you still eating every two hours? How much are you eating in a setting? How much can you drink in a setting? Some people count calories at this point but my doctor doesn't want me to worry about that. Any bad habits come back?

I, schedule myself to eat every two hours. It's easy for me because I stay home. I can drink about 3/4 of a cup at a time which is probably too much. If I'm on the go I always carry a bottle of Water and some nuts/apples so I don't get too hungry. My worst habit is bored eating and probably taking big bites. I have only gotten sick once since my surgery and it was my own fault for stuffing too much food at once too quickly.

Congrats on the loss and on that beautiful blood pressure!!

I still eat no more than 4 oz at a time (snacks are usually 2oz). And I eat about 6 times per day- at least 2 hours apart.

I never really time my drinking.

Worst habit: I forgot to chew a shrimp yesterday, that didn't feel too good. Lol.

And I'm lazy about my Water intake while at work (actually I work in a pretty busy setting and sometimes just can't.) but I'm getting better- all my coworkers are making an effort to drink more water-- which is pretty cool!

And I like Protein suppliements a bit too much... Yeah, crazy.

Thank you! No more bp meds! Do you actually weigh your food or just measure out the 1/2 of cup? Because 4oz of something looks different then 1/2c.

      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.
