Hi, I'm a week out from surgery and confused as hell! If anyone is able to help me and lead me in the right direction I'd be eternally grateful

I had my surgery in Belgium and live in the U.K. So I'm finding it hard to navigate when/what/how regarding intake and was never given any advice about daily Protein targets...

Any advice or support very welcome!

Thx

Oh my goodness. I had my bypass done on the 20th of July. I am 2 weeks out as of today. I went to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio and had mine done. I can share with you what I have been shown. My Dr still has me on a full liquid diet. Your body needs time to heal. So let it rest and heal. Don't lift more then 5 lbs. The inside will take lo her to heal then the outside. Protein target should be a minimum of 60 grams and Fluid total including Protein Shakes, Water down Apple juice, or sugar free frozen ice, should be 64 ounces, (8 glasses) dehydration is the main reason people are re-admitted. Also by now you should be chewing 2 children's Vitamins. Iron supplement and Calcium.

      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.
