Recommended Posts

I know a lot of us (like me) struggle with the hydrating thing and I thought I would post and ask. I am a big believer that Water with the sleeve is a dynamic duo tool for WLS. I am not a computer savvy person so I think just posting this thread will make people look for their water....

Right now I'm up to about 48 ounces since I crawled out of bed (it's 1:50p where I'm at and I got up at 5:30a). Some of it Water, some a skinny latte, and 2 servings of Protein shake made with skim milk. More Water to come and probably about 16 oz. of SF iced tea and an additional 8 oz. +/- SF strawberry lemonade.

I keep a water bottle next to me everywhere I go. In fact, I panic if I realize it's not there and immediately stop in the nearest store to pick up something to drink. Whether it's Decaf coffee, Powerade, bai Water, Vitamin water, Protein smoothie, plain water or herbal tea, I am drinking all day. Yesterday I got in at least 85oz, not counting the French onion Soup I had for dinner. Had over 100oz the day before while out horseback riding. I now fill my My saddle bags with water instead of beer.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
