December bypass buddies



Recommended Posts

Mine was Nov 30th so practically December! I'm doing pretty good as far as compliance however just spoke to my surgeon's dietician about Soda and using too much Splenda and have redoubled my efforts and doing things the right way. Also since my first day of bariatric soft starts Christmas Eve I inquired about puréed prime rib cuz I didn't know if it was a lean meat. It is not but since I'm craving it with horseradish sauce she told me to bring some canned chicken chunks that u make chicken salad sandwiches with and combine it with a small amount of Horseradish

Hallejillyah - I LOVE Chai! I will definitely try this! I can't wait! I am not a broth fan at all! And that is an awesome idea about the mason jars! I will have to make a run to our Dollar Tree tomorrow when I do my Trader Joe's run!

Tranquility - Let me know how that chicken and horseradish turns out! I love horseradish.. and red meat. LOL

@ that is a GREAT idea! I will definitely be at the dollor tree looking for those jars tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

@@SassyMedic congratulations. I was discharged on Friday and I was surprised that I slept so well. But then on Saturday morning at about 330am I woke up to the most excruciating gas pain in my neck and shoulders and to me it was just as bad if not worse than the surgical pain. So just remember to walk almost as much as you sip liquids! I walked about 4-5 times a day and that still was not enough.

Oh and I'm still working on my liquid intake. I'm constantly trying to get it in but its a real struggle for me, but as long as I just keep sipping I should okay.

I can't wait to eat. Changed things up by adding Campbells Tomato juice today. That was different. It was tasty 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.
