Completed surgery 10th May



Recommended Posts

I went to my first losers bench at Ft Hood. I feel blessed for my progress after hearing what some of the people are suffering through. I'm now in stage 3. Have a ninja so chop my food. Munchie food doesn't mean no taste. Common sense and good support.

Also reading here find quite a few not handing post surgery well. Hopefully it will get better. And yes my ring want to fall off my hand. LOL

Welcome :)

I had my surgery on the 16th of May. I am just behind you :)

I was released to pureed/soft foods, and have done well with an exception last night... I guess I'm not ready for ground turkey meatloaf yet. It was a horrible experience, and I've dedicated today (Saturday) to liquids only...

Other than that little mishap, I am doing well!

I have eaten (successfully) hummus, cottage cheese, ricotta bake - eggface's recipe, and salmon, tuna, and cod.

Love this adventure, and am looking forward to future successes!

I guess we are lucky to be handling post surgery so well. Other than day one, which was a blur, in the hospital and a few days of recovery I feel awesome most days. Some days even getting pumped up that I actually went through with it and surgery is behind me!!!

      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.
