First outing. 6 days post op



Recommended Posts

I went out with family today and it included out to eat. Eye opener. The tiny amount if food I could eat opened my eyes to what i used to eat. As well as what everyone else around me was eating. I mean it is amazing the clarity the sleeve brings. I ordered a cup of Soup. I tasted some ketchup when i craved french fries. After all that is what I was really craving the taste of. Potatoes only take on the taste of what you put on them. Was satisfied. I looked at the giant triple stacked burgers. I can't believe I could have ate those things before. I still look very pregnant and swollen. But my pants are loose.

Glad you went out...I bet it was a shock!!

My mom made some potstickers today for her lunch and I used to love these things. I talked her out of one, bit into it and be it wasn't that good at all plus to sweet and salty!!! I gave it right back !!

Maybe this is bc I just got sleeved on Monday but I hope this is a permanent thing bc if si, I ow believe I won't be tempted back into the fast food cravings

I got out of the house on Day 3 post-op and I believe it made all the difference in me rebounding and beginning to feel better! Keep getting out and keep walking!

      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.
