Buttermilk has helped my cravings 4 days post-op



Recommended Posts

The sweet shakes have made me sick and I can't even sip on them anymore. I've been craving meat Protein like crazy. My sleeve still feels swollen and a Popsicle definitely fixes that but the only thing that has tamed that craving for salt and meat is 2oz of very cold butter milk with just a pinch of salt. I only bought a small 2 cup container and after 4oz all my meat and salty cravings are gone. I feel the protein in the buttermilk is actually absorbing because my energy level is off the chart now. I have read that animal protein is absorbed by the body 3X more than vegan. My body just does not work off of fruit and shakes. I'm a meat eater. Buttermilk ice cold also feels good to my sleeve too.

Your a brave lady! I've never had plain buttermilk but my hubs likes it. I have to pour mine over hot cornbread!

I'm a dairy person. I love all kinds of cheeses and creams. Buttermilk is cold and feels good going down (in small portions)

I've just found another meaty beverage that feels good to drink. Carrot Juice! I just finished 4 ounces and my stomach feels great. No sugary junk bringing me down. I went upstairs and noticed my 91 year old mother in law (with perfect vision) drinking her daily glass and I decided to try it. It felt really good on the stomach and gave me the feeling of real food.< /p>

      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.
