Recommended Posts

Please join us Sunday, October 12 at 4:00 p.m. EST for a Bariatric Pal chat. The topic will be, "New Post-Op's".

This is your opportunity to ask all the questions about what to expect immediately post-op:

  • Is this normal?
  • How will I feel?
  • What can I eat?
  • When should I call my doctor?
  • How much weight should I expect to lose, if any?
  • And anything else you want to know!!!

Feel free to ask questions about what you need to do to be prepared immediately after you have had your surgery and what you should expect. Everyone is welcome, all questions are welcome. This is a great opportunity to chat with others, share your advice and learn a few things as well,

I look forward to seeing you there!

      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.
