Recommended Posts

@60andgoingforit How far out are you now that you are thinking about food Trying to get an idea of when I'll feel like eating after surgery tomorrow

It was at least a week before I wanted something beside Protein Drink & broth. I have yet to feel hungry, & always feel like I just ate a big meal (bloated). Its just been in the last couple of days that avocados for some reason has been calling my name! Nothing over whelming because your just not hungry. I'm just wanting some different tastes than the smoothies, you just get bored with it. I'm drinking 2 Unjury shakes with fat free lactose free milk a day & 1 Unjury chicken broth mixed with Water. I alternate my water with propel zereo or Powerade zero to have something different to drink. I hope this helps you some. I know every doctor has a different plan for everyone. Best of luck to you! I think you will do great! For me the surgery was not as bad as I had anticipated & so far its been mainly just uncomfortable. Everyday gets better, I'm finally getting my energy back & wanting to get out! I've been to the store a couple of times, & I walk 5-10min. every hour for 12 hrs. This seemed to help me. I plan on walking today for longer times. Feeling really good!!!! Its 11 days post op.

I posted before that my surgery was Oct 21. Due to an office mistake, I've now been pushed back to Oct 26th. They'd told me Oct 21, but arranged everything for Oct 14, and when I was finally told on Oct 13, I could not suddenly take off work early, etc. Luckily I don't have to wait too much longer. I've now been on the liquid diet 4 weeks as of tomorrow, so still have one more week of it.

we will be on the same day now. Just so you know you aren't alone.

      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.
