Struggling day 7 post op



Recommended Posts

That Amazon woman is a &*!#% ...

As a host of this forum, I will remind you that personal attacks and name calling are forbidden. Please refrain from such behaviors. Thank you!

Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind. ;) Please note...I could have spelled out EXACTLY what I meant but decided I wouldn't for the sake of your forum. You may want to contact the person who completely put this person down. We all have opinions and I gave mine. ;)

There is a big difference between stating an opinion (which I did feel and comment was quite harsh) and name calling. Utilizing symbols over words does not negate intent.

Awesome! ;) Next time, I won't use symbols. ✌

Follow your surgeon's post-op plan.

Are you on a "clear" liquid diet or a "full" liquid diet now? Also at about 10-14 days you may be able to start the puree phase, that will make it easier.

For now, keep up the great work and if food is too tempting, maybe you can have others cook the meals or at least excuse yourself from the dinner table for the next week.

Thanks!! I'm now 10 days out and I actually did some purée foods last night I had about 2 oz of fat free retried Beans and OMG I never felt so good, I could instantly feel reliefs and energy. This morning I did some grits puréed with a little maple Syrup (lite) and was able to tolerate about 2oz of that I measure out my portions to 2 oz and if I feel full before I stop and if I don't feel completely full I just sip some Water and wait till my next meal. I've read different bariatric diets and seen so many different options as far as how long to be on liquids, I did PURE liquids up until last night, I've lost a total of 21lbs since my surgery on sept 2nd, and I still plan on trying to get my Protein shakes in (looking into shakeology) and my Water. I sip and sip and sip water all day. I tried to do tea earlier and it didn't satisfy my thirst at all its like water taste better than anything, I haven't tried juices or anything but milk lol and I'll drink milk if I'm having trouble getting my shakes down but other than that my water is my best friend no joke. Thank you for your help and support!!

Thanks for the confidence boost and reminder. I'll use your message to go bash myself now on why I won't eat for the remaining week and remind myself if I do fail it's all good cause my chances were slim of being successful to begin with "obviously". have a good night ????

We all have moments of weakness . I have several, and it's not anyone's place on this site to condemn or chastise me or anyone else. We are here to encourage each other. THATS IT.

I think you handle that catty negative reply graciously and appropriately. Me on the other hand..Well!!!!

Just hang on when you fall

Pick yourself back up and keep it moving. IMHO.... I think a large percentage has cheated a little. For those that didn't or won't GREAT!

But for those that have. This is are confession board. With like minded people....People that understand, that can guide you back on track. If a person on here had such self control why did they have surgery.

Anyway. I know you will succeed mistakes and all Good Luck.

So sad to read of how we turn on each other. Everyone is different, each life different, each situation different, each style and taste of eating different. One thing that is similar is our Quest to be healthy, eat better, change our habits of bad choice and foods. We can't do this along, many times our family members don't feel what we feel, so turning here for support and encouragement and advice is so nice.

We all have read posts that we just shake our heads at, but please don't comment then, walk away. Make positive uplifting and encouraging comments.

You'll need them one day and we will be here for you.

I understand the cravings. Somehow I was on puree and soft foods post op. No liqids. I had tuna salad in the hospital! However, to handle cravings I have a fresh batch of Bone Broth every week. I have it for breakfast and Snacks. All that warm deliciouness6,full of good Protein satisfies me a lot. Also. Creamy low fat cheese and Peanut Butter in the shakes. Good luck , lopez!!!!

      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.
