Random Thought/Question



Recommended Posts

I was told no bread, rice, or Pasta for 2 months post surgery because it swells in your stomach once it become moist which will cause your new pouch to stretch. I am a huge carb lover, but after hearing that I dare not eat it. It's tempting, but it's not worth it.

My huge fear of vomiting (I absolutely hate doing it) and healthy fear of f'ing up have kept me on track.
I tried refried Beans when allowed, which was right after post-op on my plan. Those just didn't go well. I didn't vomit but it was pain like the people who had the bread/sandwhich described.

So far My restrictions are my own, and are new ones dictated by my personal new hankering's and what my sleeve will tolerate. I do crave chocolate occasionally. I satisfy it with a square of dark chocolate. Or a sugar free fudge pop. With no real issues. It's trial and error. I've had a cheese steak sub. A couple bites really but if you crave it, eat it. I'm good all the time, so the occasional goody keeps you on point!

So I didn't loss any weight in over two weeks and out of curiosity, I went on a three day protein/liquid diet and to my surprise, I survived just fine with minimal hunger pangs,lost 3 pounds and I think my capacity for food intake has reduced to what it used to be in the first 3rd week. Very interesting..

Wow, this was good to hear because my capacity food intake slightly increased. I gotta give this a try.

      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.
