9 weeks post op - need a mentor/buddy ASAP



Recommended Posts

I haven't really had much so far, just an occasional few spoonfuls of sugar free Jello, some sugar free Popsicles, and a premier Protein shakes. Today was the first day I was able to have a whole shake but I've been too full to drink Water since. So far I've been focused on drinking small sips of Water to stay hydrated but I've definitely felt pretty full most days. I was so surprised to know that this feeling was either fullness or drinking too soon, since I'm used to feeling full much lower.

Did people at work notice anything? I'm nervous about having "the" conversation over and over, although I think I will just tell them I drastically changed eating habits and am working with a physician and nutritionist to get healthy - it's all true!

p.s. so nice to meet another WLS patient who is local! Strength in numbers and all that. :) And yes, enough snow already! Hubby and I are seriously talking a move out west because we are so sick of the cold and being cooped up in the house makes being healthy harder.

      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.
