11 days post bypass - and last night in my sleep I ate my bright orange wax earplug!

Pretty sure THAT is not in my post-op menu list!

I don’t usually wear ear plugs but we are staying in a hotel - the ear plugs clearly bother me, I sometimes take them out and stick them weird places in the night, like in the lampshade, squished inside my bedside reading etc.

But eating one! Well, I appear to have chewed it a bit, so fingers crossed my new tummy can figure out what to do - else it is Christmas Hospital Visit for me!

Merty Christmas to you all...

Good news! I researched a little and earplugs (even with residual ear wax) have zero calories! :):):)

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year!

More importantly - do they have Protein? ?.

In my ‘firehose’ phase I would have noticed immediately. Now things are more solid, I didn’t deconstruct, but I assume so!

The recalled feel of bits of orange wax between my teeth still grosses me out. But at least I chewed!!

      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.
