Rainer, I'm not expert and i dont know if this will help but surely you need to drink a lot more Water that your doing so. ??

I've been quite on edge and i only have one little baby i can't imagine how your feeling.

Lynette, Yeah, I ordered Water w/lemon. I did sip every now and again, hardly any at all, but when I felt dry or that something wasn't quite as moist as it should be. I will do that each time. I still set myself a glass of water at meals too, for the same reason. Just makes it easier and I don't have to answer those questions!

Lynette, Eating 3-4 hours a part! Do well with the morning, because the shakes fill me up, but 1/4 cup of Soup doesn't do it!!!!! LOL

Hi ladies,

I'm 5 days post op and I am feeling pretty good, but my temper is through the roof!!!

I have three little ones, as you know, and I am sooo pissy I am afraid I am going to pop. Generally I eat if I get upset...so not only am I not able to eat...I am super grumpy because I am not eating..

So, any help???

Also, I am so tired...here's my food intake for the day...can anyone help me?

Incidently, I can't add anything to the shakes or blend my Soups so they are smooth....the Drs. office said not to do that.

breakfast--yogurt

snack--chocolate Protein Shake (8oz of skim)

lunch--chicken broth

snack--2 ice pops

another chocolate shake because I was so tired...not hungry though

dinner--broth from new england clam chowder (fat free)

drank 1 class of sugar free apple juice and 1 diet snapple and one glass of Water in addition to my liquid meals.

Geez, looking at it it looks like I haven't stopped eating all day.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Rain

I can't help, but I can certainly relate! I am always soo cranky when I get hungry. And I am tired and have no energy. I woke up this morning and only one hour later I took a 2-hour nap! Now my DH is finally yeah... so I will try to control myself and sit tight.

Here is what I ate today on my pre-op diet:

B- 2 scrambled eggs, 2 string cheeses, 1 glass of Crystal Light with Benefiber

L- 10 crakers with cheese spread, 1 diet jell-o, 1 sugar free popsicle, and 1 glass of Crystal Light

D- 1 chicken breast, a handful of cashews, a sugar-free jell-o, and sugar free popsicle

And I can't remember if I had string cheese before I went to the airport to pick up DH. :o

Do you all think it's too much? My nutricionist said 70 grams of Protein and 30 grams of carbs/day, but did not say anything about calories. Should I call him and ask about calories?

:confused:Rainer, It doesn't seem like you are getting enough Protein. I guess you are, but I add a scoop of vanilla protein to my Carnation Instant Breakfast sugar free mix, as well as, the mix. Makes it rich and creamy. That holds me over! Sugar Free Popsicles and Fudgesicles are good, as well as, diet Jello. I even had a spoon of Pickle Juice that I read in one of the posts. Curbed my craving for salt, lol! Kind of tasty! Today, I had a small wedge of cheese, after I read Lynette's 3 meals and 3 snack menu!!!! YUM, I enjoyed that! Thanks, Lynette!!!!:o

I also use Slim Fast drinks sometimes, but I am able to blend up Soups. So that definitely helps me out. Flavored waters and herbal tea are tasty too! Oh, and Low Sodium V8 juice, never liked it before, but it is quickly becoming a good friend, lol! Let's see, and Werther's Sugar Free candies!!!

:embarassed:Dini, I am always "tending" to my man!!! He's high maintenance!!!! LOL

Wrangler054, you were talkinga bout drinking wine with your meal. did your doctor not tell you that you were not to drink while eating? i was told nothing for half and hour b4 and 30-60 minutes later??

You are right. I forgot about not drinking 30 mins before or 30 mins after my meal.

thanks for the reminder.

I just went out and bought my Vitamins, Calcium and Iron. Expensive stuff. Oh well it's needed.

Went out shopping w/hubby to get him food for the week and my Protein Drinks and Jello. I thought it was going to be a cheap day at the grocery store but good old hubby filled the cart to the brim.

The liquid diet is not bad any longer. I actually had to remind myself to drink some broth and have a Protein Shake b/c I wasn't feeling hungry. I did have the head hunger after going to the store but it wasn't too bad. However I am looking forward to eating something solid again.

Surgery is on Wednesday - starting weight 335 and I'm down to 316. It feels good. Hubby said he's even noticed I'm losing weight.

Rain, can you add the Protein Powder to your shakes or Soups? The Protein helps to keep you full. Sorry, that's about all I can recommend. I wonder why your Dr. doesn't want you adding things to your shakes. It's not like you're adding a bunch of calories or anything. even when I add my Peanut Butter, my shakes are around 200 calories. That's my highest meal/snack so far, but then I eat the puddings and Jello and they only have 60 calories. So by the ned of a day, I've still only consumed about 700 calories or less.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
