Yet to get to the green mode



Recommended Posts

Ok I got a fill over a week ago and while I am not having issues with eating I do have problems with drinking, One time in the past it was filled too much where I could not even swallow Water without throwing up, so I am confused right now. Only things I have eaten are eggs/fish and things of that nature and like eating 1 egg filled me up. But when drinking, I am uncomfortable, I am not sure if its because in the past I could always guzzle water with no problem, and now I can only take one drink. Another question I have is when I do drink I get a pain in my left back area????? I have tried to read up since its been awhile since I had a fill, I am somewhat uncomfortable but if this is normal I want to continue to work on this.

I am going through the same thing. I figured out if I sip Water I am usually okay. I can't eat more than three small bites every 4 hours so I rely heavily on drinking Water and I can normally get in one Protein shake, but it takes me all day to sip on it. Gone are the days of guzzling water. It's small sips constantly throughout the day.

Hope you feel better!

thank you for your post, I am on week two and yes realizing that sipping is a must, I too still can only eat like one egg or around 1/2 cup, but staying full. I think the other pain was just not eating much so things were...lets just say sticking around.

      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.
