5 days out and eating everything. I just cant.

Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

I just saw that post and was going to ask if it was a joke. It's got to be a joke, right? I think there are a bunch of surgeons out there who need to do a better job screening their patients, because clearly the message is not getting through. Either that, or there are doctors out there who have no regard for their patients and are doing a half-assed job of preparing people for life after surgery. chicken 5 days post op. . . . I just can't . . .

I agree. My doctor sent me home with the post-op diet sheet and at the top it basically says "follow this diet or you could die!" In bold letters

It's insanity. I've got someone telling ME I've got to do better at telling it like it is instead of coddling.

Because y'all know how much I coddle.

I really wish you'd stop being such a softy ????????

Now that's funny! I like your doctor.

I gotta say, the craziest scenario I've seen on here so far is the gal that weighs 115 pounds, but wants WLS to "cure" her BED. Not only did she find a surgeon (in another country) to do the surgery and has a mother with unlimited financial backing, people on here continue to enable her! This poor girl is not getting the help she really needs and is likely going to end up seriously ill WITH THE HELP AND SUPPORT OF BP MEMBERS!!!

I'm just lurking and reading - don't mind me!

@@LipstickLady - my roommate brought home popcorn... and not just any popcorn, buttered hull less! *sighs* I only had one piece and honestly... not as good as I remember, and I'm good - I still have a bag of unpopped popcorn sitting in my desk drawer at work... since before surgery - and I haven't touched it!

*goes back to lurking and reading*

I missed the Swedish fish post apparently

Trying to figure out why I didn't have to ask the great Vets here what to eat or not eat. I never once ate CARP.

      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.
