Cursed or blessed?



Recommended Posts

I am 9 weeks post op. I can eat whatever I want with no consequences. I don't slime, become nauseated-nothin! If I eat too much , I feel full, that's it. Am I cursed or blessed? I have had no side effects whatsoever from this surgery.

"Whatever I want with no consequences" I am guessing that's a stretch. Can you eat the VOLUME you used to eat? I would say if you are eating and becoming full after small portions you are blessed! That's awesome - be proud :)

i am 5 months out and am ABLE to eat all foods also, but at this point in the game, it's more about the CHOICES i make, and no matter what, the most i can eat at a time is still only about 3/4 cup...

Sounds like a perfect recovery. I never been nauseous or had reflux or slimed or dumped, but it took me 3-4 months to feel really good. And I can eat whatever I want, too. Doesn't mean I do. Consider yourself blessed. What kind of "side effects" were you hoping for?

      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.
