Any November surgeries?



Recommended Posts

I find it odd that every doctor is completely different on diet pre and post op.

Yogurt seems like an obvious choice, but my doc said no. Just Protein and water/sugar free drink for 2 weeks.

I am down 16 lbs since Monday weigh in.

I agree!!!! My battery is dead in my scale, and it's killing me???????????????? I'm gonna get that darn battery today! And see what the results are. I did notice since yesterday was my first day wearing jeans since the surgery, that I didn't have to tuck and roll, struggle, and there wasn't a need for a belt for my pants to stay up! But I opted to put the belt on because it felt weird! ????????????????

My surgery was Nov 2nd. My Dr did not require preop liquid diet. I am on day 13 and am down 22 pounds since surgery and 56 pounds total :) Starting puree stage which is good, because I have a hard time drinking Protein shakes.

Well had my surgery yesterday and though there is alot of pain it's definitely manageable. I've been up and walking since 2 hrs after waking up which has definitely helped the chest pain. The only issue I've had is that the kitchen brought me a regular Jello instead of sugar free luckily I noticed before I took a bite! Be sure to double check everything! Good luck to those having surgery coming up, I've heard of people having regrets right after, so far non here!

      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.
