Recommended Posts

@@dawnyoung875 I have surgery May 21. Day 3 of liquid diet....struggling and learning very quickly just how bad my addiction with food is. Excited for surgery though :)

The first 3 days definitely were the worst. I just tried to get as creative with my pre-op diet as I could. And yes you really do see how addicted to food you really are. But being a few days post-op now it was oh so worth it. Good luck on your journey ????

Getting a little worried here. Surgery was on Tuesday May 5...... Still experiencing pain , I'm wondering if I'm drinking too fast. I feel like I've slowed a lot but maybe not slow enough. My incisions are painful and I am using pillow to support stomach when I walk. At the very top of stomach just where ribs open otherwise known as the epi-gastric area is so painful. Is it pain or too full, I'm not sure. 8 oz of Protein Shake I drink a small medicine cup and wait 15 minutes to the next

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Same day of surgery for me too ????

The pain is is definitely real isn't it!? Today has been a much better day for me. I to, slowed way down with anything consumed. I also played around with liquid temperatures. Room temp is easiest to digest, without fear of vomiting. I'm comfortably getting in recommended amount of both Water and Protein today. I use post-242829-1431207238155_thumb.jpgin my water. 16grams of protein per 1 ounce. So I've been just doubling up my shots in my water ???? good luck to you on your journey ????

I've tried the orange, grape and peach/mango but not the lemonade yet. That ones next. It definitely beats that thick Protein taste.

Ordered the variety packs. I think packets I have to mix with Water. All I know is this : I cannot drink another chocolate Protein of any kind. I also have the Isopure protein drinks.< /p>

Awesome. I also use the isopure unflavored no carb protein in my water. Just to keep it high protein all the way. I is definitely unflavored, just adds a very slight texture difference.

Thanks Salonboi , I will check that out also. I do drink the Isopure flavored bottles ( iced tea and grape) I like a lot. 40 Protein, no carbs, 170 calories per 20oz bottle.

Are you adding fiber to any of your drinks?

NUT hasn't said I needed just yet. I assume when I start adding more foods in I'll need. Nothing solid right now going in or out so I think it's the way it should be lol. How about you? Has your NUT or Dr said anything about it?

How's your it going after surgery? Today has been my best day pain wise. I got in all fluid/protein requirements today for first time. I'm very excited about that so early on.

I've hit my Fluid intake everyday And come close to my Protein. I've had a lot of pressure Which is uncomfortable but what's in I have left has been manageable so far. I m just really weak and tired I would say that's harder than he pain or not eating .... Are you experiencing any weakness or exhaustion?

      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.
