Recommended Posts

I went to register at the hospital Friday and all that did was make me extremely nervous and excited at the same time. All I know is I'm ready to lose this weight. I give myself a week to recover and I'm starting my walking.#nogames

To be honest! I'm starving!!! lol I thought once I had the surgery I wouldn't be so hungry. But besides that everything is going well. I'm off the pain meds every now and then I take Tylenol. I'm walking daily and going up and down my stairs. Not trying to push myself to hard.

I had surgery the same day and feel hungry too. I suppose we are. I'm getting around 400-500 calories a day.

I had surgery on May 23rd, and I am just so tired of eating the same foods. I am ready to advance my diet to at least soft foods. The most challenging part of this whole surgery has been adjusting to waiting the 30 minutes to drink something. Has anyone else found that to be challenging?

Yes! I have to not have Water near me because I forget.

This definitely isn't easy but certainly I could lose the weight without it. I often think I'm hungry but I listen to my body and it's like "meh" so I'm able to control it so much better than before. There's just so many triggers around us!

I'm almost 6 weeks out and I do terrible at the Water thing.

      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.
