3 Days Post-Op, WI Looking for a buddy to message



Recommended Posts

Anyone willing to be a buddy? I'm 27 yrs old, from WI, 5'7" BMI around 40. My main questions revolve around Vitamins, shakes, liquids, food, etc. My surgeon's plan is pureed from day 2, but the focus is liquid, Protein = 64 ounces. I'm supposed to try "bites" of pureed food, but not focus on it at this point.

Okay, same group of Drs then. I go the 26th to have lap band removed and bypass done. Doing liquid diet again, no fun! Do you go to the support groups at American? By the way I have Dr. Greenberg

Good luck! liquid diet isn't fun. I was glad it got better after a couple of days! I've been to 3 support groups but didn't make it to this week. I had Dr. Greenberg as well and thought he was great. The 26th will be here before you know it!!

      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.
