Anyone post surgery who can help me



Recommended Posts

I would love to have some advice from some one who has already had surgery. Someone who I could talk to on a daily basis maybe? Not many people in my family know that I'm having surgery so it be fantastic to have someone to talk to about to it often . It may seem weird but I just hate keeping this to myself.

You will have thousands of friends and a support group at your fingertips. I tried a couple FB groups me but nothing, and I mean nothing, will compare to the support you receive here. Every stage brings different fears, anxiety and questions. If you don't like an answer, move on. There will be so many people to reach out to you, and learn to rely on the veterans here to guide you every step of the way. Best of luck, it's awesome 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.
