1 week post op today!



Recommended Posts

Today I'm 1 week post op! It was hard the first few days and discouraging but I'm finally keeping fluids down and getting better at reaching my Fluid intake. I'm starting pureed foods tomorrow! Can I say how excited I am to have cottage cheese and mashed potatoes!!! Hoping diet tolerates and I can continue to progress but my whole mind set is much better. I picked up some protein2o and it helped so much with giving me nutrition since I was only taking in sugar free Jello and Water.

Isopure zero calorie Protein powder is great. The strawberries and cream and the unflavored is great. You can put it in the premier shake to get the Protein out of the way at once. I do this in the morning this way I know I have gotten all my protein in. You can also add a little Water to the shake to thin it out. I blend it in the blender. I use the strawberry and cream to add to the vanilla Protein Shake when I get tired of the vanilla.< /p>

I'm one week as of today myself. I'm on what my dr office called stage 3 diet since coming home which includes Protein Powder shakes, yogurt, cottage cheese, and of course Protein Shakes. As a vegan, I'm only eating the Protein powder shakes trying to put as much powder in as possible to up the protein grams. I can only get down about 6oz at a time (with difficulty). I tried mixing protein powder with soy yogurt but found it unpalatable. I can't even imagine actually eating mashed potatoes right now, though it does sound yummy. I wonder how long it will be till I can drink a 12oz shake in one sitting!

I couldn't until I started using the lemonade crystal lite and I add splenda to it. I drink it very cold. I'm now drinking 42 oz of Water ( not including my Protein shake). I drink it all day. I also made some asparagus Soup. I used 1 percent milk and instead of a heavy cream, I only used 4 table spoons of half and half. It's really good and very low in fat. I made about 64oz. It also helps me with using the restroom. I wouldn't suggest buying the Soup already made because if you buy it already made it can be very very fattening

      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.
