Revision on 12/1! Very nervous!



Recommended Posts

Yes, that's what my nutritionist said as well. She said to try to get 3/day. I'm just curious how much u can really drink at a time. I eat my first meal in a few hours so I guess I'll see how I tolerate liquids.

Good luck on ur procedure! Ull do great!

Hi! I'm recovering so well! Thank God! Honestly I thought recovery would be horrible, but it really hasn't been! I finally got to eat my clear liquid diet last night and couldn't finish (I should say) didn't want to finish my 4 oz of broth.

Today I did eat my 2 oz broth, 2 oz Jello, 2 oz apple juice and 1 oz Protein packet. It took about an hour to eat but I feel good!

I hope ur surgery and recovery goes smoothly!

Glad you are doing good! I also felt like my Sleeve was easier recovery than the band... maybe I just knew what to expect. When do you progress to full liquids? I remember that being such a relief... to have thin Soups and yogurt! The liquids get old fast.

Thank u! I went to full liquids on day 2! Although that was just 2 oz of Soup, 2 oz of Jello, and 2 oz juice at one meal. Lol. Each day I'm getting in more and more. Have to work on getting my Protein Shakes in. I hate sipping and then it gets warm. I go to purées on tues! So tuna and canned meats are ok...can't wait! Lol

I'm doing great--so sweet of you to check in! I'm a public speaker and had a big event in NYC this weekend so that kept me busy. I was feeling pretty apprehensive on Friday and have scheduled an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow once I've flown into Kansas City. Since I had lap and erosion and ended up in Intensive Care I think I'm a bit more fearful than I would normally be. I had a severe gastric bleed with the erosion and I never want to go through anything like that again. I'm sure after talking to Dr Hoehn tomorrow I will feel peaceful and ready to rock and roll on Tuesday.

      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.
