Don't know what's wrong.. If anything



Recommended Posts

I'm 8 days since surgery.. by the 3rd day I felt hungry but got better when I started drinking shakes.. shakes have been going down very smooth and NOT too filling... Could because since I had my lapband removed at the same time and was left w a small pouch above sleeve .. Dr said that will shrink soon... BUUUT last night (Tuesday night) I was in desperate need for a different taste so I sucked on a laffy taffy ... this morning I drank 32 oz of Water before my first shake.. water went down no problem.. BUT I couldn't get 1/2 way through my shake..that never happened before and that was 2 hours ago and I still feel full and lots of gas... Was wondering if it had anything to do w eating that laffy taffy last night? Another possibility can be that the lap band pouch I had finally shrunk a little.. But again it's been a couple of hours and still have gas and feeling a little uncomfortable and some heartburn..

I did .. well I kinda just sucked on it and swallowed it as it dissolved... But that was last night.. was able to drink 32 oz within a few hours before my first shake... and figured it would've completely dissolved by now

@@KristenLe I called and the nurse practitioner said it was most likely the fact I drank 32oz of Water before the shake.. even though I drank it in a span of 2 1/2 hours .. the problem now is I feel it come up sometimes when I burp or hiccup .. also due to drinking too fast.. now I feel a little nauseous but just walking and sitting and hoping it will pass..

      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.
