Just want to take a bite of solid food



Recommended Posts

Please use your common sense.

Eating sticky candy two weeks out, before beeing cleared for pureed and soft foods is an invite for complications. Even at the pureed and soft food stage, candy is not allowed.

With that mindset you could eat chocolate for your liquid stage, since it melts in your mouth. But is it in accordance with your plan? I bet not.

Your nut most likely wants you to eat a healthy, hi Protein and low carb diet. It never includes sweets!! Candy is hi carb and empty calories and can get stuck in your staples. Ask your surgeon or nut for their opinion if you don't believe me or the other people trying to help you.

And this is a public forum where the vets are very helpful. You might want to listen to the people who succeeded already. They did it right.

I wish you luck and hope you don't end up with the people who didn't take advantage of their wls and didn't lose weight or gained it back, at the bad end of the percentage spectrum.

You have to work for it.

I was instructed to use Flinsto nd Vitamins?


flinstone vitamins tend to be chewables.

I passed on them because most of the mv's I found contained Calcium carbonate.

So I went with Jamieson chewable mv's w/o calcium and take calcium separately.

Having no luck finding calcium citrate chewables anywhere. Found liquid calcium carbonate in liquid form but far more expensive than its worth and tastes like barium Fluid.

      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.
