New to the website 2 months out.



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

My name is Cindy. I heard about this website through a group of women that I went to classes with pre surgery and we are all under Kaiser and we all are about 3 months out. I am currently 2 months out and not doing the best but surviving. I had weight loss surgery because I just got tired of not being able to breath (COPD) and having trouble tying my shoes and other things as well. I felt miserable in my own skin. I am glad I have had this done I am just having trouble with my food, I had to go back to soft and moist foods for a while. I have trouble eating meat so I have been drinking 2 Protein Drinks per day and then fill the rest with cottage cheese and string cheese. eggs are ok but only the whites, can't stomach the yolks at all. I am hoping to have the opportunity to share recipes and my experiences with all of you. I am happily married to Kim my husband of 17 years (we have only been married 7 of those years) but we are still in puppy love. LOL....We have 2 dogs that keep us busy one is a Rott/Lab mix and the other is a Malinois Sheppard they are both about 1 1/2 years old and full of energy. I just hope to get better and I plan on doing that with help from all of you. Thank you for your time.

      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.
