5 weeks out..is this normal?



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I'm 5 weeks out and I feel like everything has been Smooth sailing.

I'm curious as to what is normal. I am usually around 500 cal, 45grams Protein in a day. I have been able to tolerate everything that I've tried.

One concern: today is the second time this his happened to me.......i eat solid protein (soft chicken breast and a small bite of soft broccoli) around 11:00am and then I'm literally full for hours. I eat slow and don't eat more than I should and even several hours later I can't tolerate Water because I now feel soooo full. I haven't been able to eat anything else today since then because everything still feels very heavy inside. Being thirsty...took a few sips of water and began having strong pain and cramping from the fullness.

It's only happened twice but just seams so strange that the heavy feeling and discomfort builds with time and prevents me from any further consumption. Thoughts?

      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.
