Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!

I'm new to this website. I'm excited to fine a place where I can vent, and get answers to my questions.

so I'm eating "soft foods" and I haven't started exercising- however my NUT said I could start some light activity if my stomach is no longer sore. I want to start lifting weight and also doing abs. guys think its too soon?

do you guys think I can start taking Gummy Vitamins? what about take capsules? I hate taking the powdery sh*t with pudding or apple sauces. ugh :angry: I just rather swallow that crap!

Hi,

I have been on Gummy Vitamins since the beginning per my Dr. I would be lying if I said I have stuck to an all Protein diet....but confident I still eat less then 800-1000 calories a day (this is 3 weeks out going forward).

I am starting to feel much better and it does not hurt every time I eat now which is a relief.

I try to get in all my liquids and Proteins but find it difficult most days especially since I was told to drink/eat 30 minutes apart.

Overall I am 4+ weeks out and in a stall which I have read is normal....

      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.

      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.
