February Surgery Buddies!



Recommended Posts

S/p RNY 2/7/18 and i am not feeling so great lately. I started soft foods. I think it is increased gas but idk it is discomfort when eating. Almost feel like going back to puréed foods or liquids. I am ok some day but today was a tough day. Almost feel nauseas and with a belly ache and I have not over ate nor drank enough liquids. I did overwork myself yesterday. I push myself to exceed 5000 steps a day and go up and down my stairs at least 4 times within the day. I feel like I am exhausted but physically however today is different I feel exhausted and sick. Anyone having similar symptoms?

Instead of cake you could do a sugar free pudding cake with layers or frozen yogurt ice cream that you make out of yogurt yum! Maybe a taco party idk if you like tacos but you know Beans cheese soft puréed meats yum!!! You won’t be able to eat much, but you know tacos means party lol. I am sure anything you do will be great... it’s your birthday Celebrate your success!!!

How is everyone doing so far?

I'm almost 4 weeks out and so far so good. Still struggling to meet my Protein goals but man it was nice to finally eat some solid food after 3 weeks of liquid/puree.

So, not that I have the answers, but this is what I was doing. Maybe it will help?

1Brekky - decaff coffee and 9-10oz Premier Protein as Creamer (23g P)

2nd Brekky - 1 egg softboiled (6g P)

MS - Egg salad (6g P)

L - Egg Salad (6g P)

AS - Yogurt/Cottage Cheese/Applesauce (15g P)

D - 1.5oz dense protein of some kind (9g P)

BS - Yogurt/Cottage Cheese/WF Blueberry Syrup (10g P)

75g P for the day! Voila!!! It's a lot of meals, but in the beginning we're only supposed to eat 1/4c of food max. As our volume increases, meals decrease. And you're only taking in 23g of P from Protein Drinks even only 2-3 weeks out?

Hope that helps. Just word: MAKE SURE your poop chute is cleaned out from all the stuck-in crap from surgery or you will have constipation/blockages like nobody's beeswax!!!

      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.
