Recommended Posts

@@irishaggie LOL I know exactly what you mean. I have equated this with pregnancy at times too. Even holding my stomach because of the gas pains.

Well I just had my first non Protein Drink meal.. Kevin made me get out and go to the grocery with him. While there I found LaMadeline to motor basil Soup in a jar. OMG . I finally felt my "full" . I never thought I would. About ounces did it. I am so excited..I now know what my full feels like. And it feels great!!

I'm so glad your first full feeling was positive. I had my first full feeling last Sunday but it quickly shifted to over full and I felt sick to my stomache for over an hour. Now when I get close to full I stop and wait to see if my body needs to catch up and tell me I'm full. At this point satisfied is a way better feeling than overfilled lol.

Just got home. I'm glad to be on my couch curled up in a warm blanket. My puppy is sure mad at me, he wants nothing to do with me at the moment. Haha. Good luck and a speedy recovery for those who are having surgery tomorrow or who just had surgery.

@@kvoneye, Yay! Enjoy!

I've been drinking chocolate milk since day one. The elixir they gave me for pain is enough to make a person puke along with the liquid prilocec. I finally told the dr no way to both. Pain isn't too bad and the prilocec I have, I just break a part and mix with orange yogurt.

@@kimvox66 Have you tried Miralax?

My Doc told me to use Milk Of Mag. Needless to say, it isn't working. Not sure where to go from here, although I'm not terribly uncomfortable or bloated or anything. I guess I'll just keep walking, watering and hope that it will eventually kick in.

@@irishaggie pinto and cheese? Is that a Soup? If so we have to find that! Which grocery did you get it at? I am so sick of sweet (never thought those words would come out of my mouth!!). All I want is savory...beany....meaty!!!!

You get it at Taco Bell! It is really just refried Beans with some cheese on top. It is served in a small container, so the size is not overwhelming, either. I know I can make the same at home, but somehow it is better when someone else makes it and it feels like a special treat :)

@@irishaggie & @@edie091371 You guys are making me hungry!!! My doctor won't let me have soft food until after Wed when I see him ;-( Getting tired of the Protein Drinks & broth! I think when we leave the dr's office were heading for taco bell for the refried beans! Has anyone tried guacamole? & how soon to be able to eat?

      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.
