Recommended Posts

:notagreeWell 4 days post op and started back to work against everyones wishes but although tired i know it was the best thing to do. Takes my mind off tha aches and pains.

Loss of appetite is a major thing and its a daily chores forcing myself to drink something other than tea. Does any one else feel the same?

Wow you went back to work really fast. It's the end of the day now, did you make it through your whole workday? I hear that the appetite loss is common but when it goes away you're left with hunger again until that fill happens. Someone else posted that they can't get the Water in, because they don't want to take anything in right now. I have surgery tomorrow, so I'll let you know how that goes. Keep us posted on that appetite thing, I'm curious to see how you feel as the days go by.

:notagreeI'm a transport co ordinator and involves lots of walking.

Today i'm feeling it was too much too soon for work but when you have a house to pay for and bills there's no choice.

Only three days to go and then i can rest i would probably recommend more time off.

Hope everything goes well with the op x

      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.
