Surgery Monday/starving



Recommended Posts

This is it ,the 2 day all liquid diet and I am so hungry. I am scared I am going to cheat. Surgery Monday, starting to freak a little. Starting to get a little excited too, cannot even imagine being a regular sze, maybe even a 12, or 10, it has been over 20 years since then. Anyone else next week, how are you doing.

thanks guys. I did a 2 week diet, but it included Protein shakes and 1 small meal a day. I didn't cheat with any bad food, I did overeat some, but lets face it that's why I am having the surgery. These 2 days, not even Protein Shakes, just Clear liquids. I cannot imagine those people that have to do liquids only for 2 weeks.

@@sbg224 Hang in there, I too have surgery on Monday and am starving. But we will get through this. I never could have imagined how hard these two days were going to be.

      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.
