July 4th weekend so hard



Recommended Posts

5 days post op and I have to say it was so hard to be around so much food and not being able to eat any. I wanted some food so bad but I put my big girl panties on and sucked it up.

Same here! I'm 4 days post op and this weekend has been torture. A lot of people say they don't feel hungry after the surgery so I wasn't anticipating it being this tough but I'm starving! Hoping next week will be a little easier.

I'm also 4 days post op and watching everyone around me just chowing down while I sip my broth. But hey, that's ok, it's my cross to bear so I'm toughing it out. I just keep telling myself that with each tummy pain that it's just more fat my body is getting rid of!

I have been ok for the most part. I'm 3 days post op. I have these off and on belly pains gas? Rumblings. that make it hard to want food. However being around all the food the ribs, the brown sugar baked Beans, the hot dogs the ice cold apple cider gives me a tiny pinch of sadness. But i know this time next year I will be quite fabulous so it's worth it.

      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.
