Any surgery pals this week?



Recommended Posts

I'm going in April 27th for surgery and was curious if anyone going in this week would like to become surgery pals to keep in touch and check in with one another post op to see how everyone is doing. I'm in Michigan, 30 year old female, 5'6" and my pre-op weight before pre-op diet started was 347. Figured the stats might help to compare experiences to some degree.

Today was really a turning point for me. I started feeling like a person again! I folded laundry, I did some light housework, with minimal pain medication. Yesterday, I didn't know how I was going to make it.. But today really gave me hope for the next few weeks! [emoji846]

      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.
