Recommended Posts

That's great I'm almost a week post op I lost 12 pounds and I get this hunger feeling OMG

Make sure you are nor drinking 30min, before and after you have your shakes...I was told if we drink after, especially you will push the Protein drinks through faster and we won't absorb it. Thats what happens to me,I felt hunger pang and realized I was drink right after eating by 10 min.

Now I am by the book doing much better..I look forward to to Jello and pops to curb I. Between and broth oh YUMMYY LOL:(

On Wed, I go to one soft meal at dinner !!!

Yeah sometimes I forget I need more Water intake I need to add crystal light to the Water so much water has me a bit tired of it. Are you allowed to eat puree foods yet or yogurt? What shakes do you buy for Protein ?
Well tomorrow I have to see my nutritionist I'm hoping I can eat something else other then Protein Shakes and Soups I actually tried twice the Greek yogurt but omg i felt it was so heavy for me does that happen to you ?and I tried lentil Soup being that it's so good for Iron and that was ok

Have you eaten anything outside of what your supposed to eat ?

The doctor told me to take a good 2 1/2 weeks out especially since I work in an office and rarely get up so I'm trying to rest and keep busy as much as I can. The first few days after surgery was hard I was even dreaming of food the sleek for some reason was stronger k guess cause I was hungry. I'm trying to measure everything I still drink my Protein shakes and Soups I can't wait to change it up a bit. Are you still at home or your working

Hi there,

I hear you, the shakes even 2 times a day are boring!! In between is a Jello or ice pop....today I am doing better at getting Water down, and I hade real Coffee!!!!!!!!!! I tried decaf..it ain't happening LOL !!

I still get tired, I also have an autoimmune disease...

Fortunately I am retired. My daughter needed a full 2 weeks or so to go back to work when she had it...

What Soups do you use???? Tonight I have soft food for dinner again, after last nights mayhem, I am going to try ricotta left at room temp.

I can't take the cold!!!! I'm so glad we are communicating !

      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.
