Recommended Posts

Just sitting here waiting for the hospital to call with my time to report tomorrow. Nerves aren't too bad. It's time to get this party started.

Wishing all of you having or who have had surgery this month a speedy recovery.

See you all on the other side.

Good luck to you! My surgery was March 9. The first few days were a little rough, but I am feeling great now. No regrets! You'll do great.

Michelle, I felt such a relief to have the surgery behind me. Make it a priority to get all your 64 oz in, it makes a difference! So happy to hear you are doing well!! Keep up the good work!

You young whippersnappers have everything!

:)

When I'm watching TV, I look at the time on the cable box and sip every 5 minutes.

Just one average sip. In the beginning I was afraid to sip too much. Silly what we worry about, huh.

Home finally, feeling great, lots of fluids in and day 2 of my Clear Liquids. I'm also getting about 30-40 mins of walking in each day too.

The only thing that freaks me out is I never feel hunger... I've had nothing but Water or enhanced water with Protein & Fiber from Wal-Mart but I'm feeling fine.

      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.
