Newbie looking for buddies! 10/16 Surgery



Recommended Posts

Looking for some October buddies so we can have moral support and stuff (i.e. exchange numbers and instagrams if you want). I have my surgery date 10/16 and am currently on day 5 of liquids. I already spoke w/the anesthesiologist from the Hospital the other day and just need to be told what time to arrive. Also from S. Florida! :)

Surgery done last thursday (10/16) everything went well, some pain (of course) first two days at the hospital and now at home pain has gone, except for cramps that come and go, which I've been told are normal. I won't weight until finished the first week. It's very hard the first days on Full liquid, although you don't have any hunger psychologically its a stress but manageblable. I hope as days pass by and I progress into the next steps everything will be fine. No regrets at all, already feeling good.

Hi all,

This morning I decided to weigh myself and got a shock, kept jumping off the scales and back again, just to make sure the scales were working properly. It would appear I've lost 11Ibs. This put a big smile on face.... I'm so ready for this journey and the challenge.

Lifeafterfluff - What's your surgery date?

It has been a week and a half since my surgery on the 16th and I feel great by the day. Very bored about the Full liquid diet but i just need to relax a couple more days to get to the next stage that i know will be much better. Lost 33 pounds since pre op diet.

      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.
