Dieing not really but feels that way.



Recommended Posts

2 weeks out, soft foods for a week now. Tried to eat some soft chicken yesterday. The first time I thought I was gonna die for the pain. Just a couple bites. So that was lunch. I went back to my full liquids. Today my new best friend tuna said oh no. 2 bites and uncomfortable, not dieing but ouch. So back to full liquids.

Anyone else experience this. I was fine all week eating whatever was on my plan.

No chicken for 6 months I was told , I guess it gives everyone problems. I'm 2 and a half weeks now and I try to stay with eggs, cheese, Beans and I added spinach to a cottage cheese bake and I did fine with it too. My diet will bump up a month out to add one knew thing at a time as tolerated . Just go by the rules and you will heal much faster. : )

Everyone has different reactions to foods. If it's on your plan but bothering you, leave it be and then come back to it in a week or two. I have a coworker who's 3 years post op and her new tummy is not her friend. It changes its mind daily on what it will or won't tolerate.

You don't need to rush the process towards solid foods. Take it one baby step at a time. Whenever you try chicken it must be tenderized. The way to do this is slow cook a chicken breast in a covered pot of Water with a bouillon cube for a few hours until the meat is so tender that it comes apart with your fork.

It was really tender chicken. Not the first time I've tried it either. It was like yesterday a switch flipped and said nope not eating anything. I did have some pinto Beans tonight a whole 11 Beans. No pain but just didn't want to aggregate anything. My Dr was pretty firm on going to soft foods a week ago. Every Dr is different I guess

      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.
