Recommended Posts

I am 8 days post op and cannot eat anything, I am so over the full liquid stage, everything I can eat makes want to gag! I hate sugar free stuff, and the cream Soup and broths are not cutting it for me. I am regretting this decision :(

I had my sleeve 27th July.

Fully understand how you feel.

Try to think positive why did you want the procedure to lose weight and back gain control. I have to remind myself everyday.

The reality is that It's so hard to adjust and so dammed frustrating. Dealing with hunger wind and nausea.

Suck mints for the wind and nausea.

Don't eat diet foods you are eating so little your body needs the extra nourishment. Diet foods have added chemicals which can upset your stomach.

Don't wait for mealtimes, try snacking regularly. This will help keep your stomach busy and stop it filling with salvia and wind.

And eat very very slowly.

Eat high Protein foods.

Don't forget your Protein drinks like slim fast.

Things to try one weetabix made milky,

Porridge made milky,

Fage total 2% Greek yoghurt is very high in Protein.

Mashed banana

Cream cheese.

Pate

Try a crisp-bread. I managed it. Chew till mush.

You can try these but be careful blend and eat slowly...

Very soft scrambled egg

Cottage cheese

tuna

Salmon

Soft Vegetables

Don't forget to try to build up to 1.700 quarts of Water a day . Dehydration causes sickness and hunger.

Hope this helps xox

I don't think any of us loved the liquids stage but it is part of the healing process. Doctors plans are important to follow to avoid a serious complication. It is a very small part of this life long journey. Please don't advance your diet without talking with your surgeon first.

Me too. I am not a big sweet eater and the artificial sweeteners all leave a bitter taste. One more week and it will be better.

      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.
