Day 6 post op mood



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow will be one week already since I was sleeved and I am ok. I am not mad or regretful. I just feel weird and anxious to see my weight drop.

I can say that I have not had any nausea since day one and no unbearable pain.

It's a weird feeling to feel everything going down and into your stomach.

My sleep situation is getting better because it was hard to get comfy at night.

I did chew some chipotle and spit it out cause I was scared to swallow it but I just wanted to satisfy the craving....the craving....I still have some cravings but it's for the sake of chewing and not actually eating the food if that makes sense. I will be talking to my doctor to let him know about this at my follow up.

My main focus is on hydration and walking at least 15 minutes 2x's per day and increasing it as I can handle it.

I also am trying to practice slowing down when I eat or drink. Easier said than done.

It's hard coming from such a high weight and bad habits to just turn it off.

Mind over matter folks.

I am looking forward to following your journey on here. My surgery is April 2018 and I am so happy I stumbled upon this. That way I can kind of adjust to not only the physical but the psychological changes that are going to come. You're an inspiration. Please keep us updated.

I got hungry on the preop diet and my doctor told me that if I felt hungry I could have veggies and grilled chicken (small portion). Each doctor is different, talk to your doctor. I know the struggle. Dont give up.Good luck.[emoji3]

the urge to chew is real. I'm moving to soft foods tomorrow and off from purees and am super excited. My dietitian did tell me when i went to purees that i could have cottage cheese and just chew it good instead of pureeing it. That did seem to help. She advised sugar free popcicles for crunch. Not sure that quite fills the bill, but they are tasty and initially not just mush :)

Good luck to you!

Congrats on your surgery and weight loss. It gets better after you reach the real food stage.
Changing behaviors takes time. When you repeat small efforts over and over it becomes habit. This will be your new normal. ..hang in there[emoji6]

I definitely know what you mean! I’m 5 days out from my sleeve and it’s so weird not being hungry. Of course I would love to chow down on a ribeye and loaded potato but obviously that’s mental hunger. It is kind of weirding me out. Today was my first day back to work and all I’ve had is a Protein Shake, a half a portion of broccoli cream Soup, a popsicle, and a half a single container of yogurt. And I’ve still got to get 10 more grams of Protein and almost 15 ounces of Fluid before I go to sleep. It’s a weird feeling to physically not be able to eat anymore when we are so used to eating way too much with ease. Good luck and let me know if you come up with any tricks! Haha

I went to Sam's Club today and bought the Premier Protein shakes.

I hate Protein Powder because no matter how you mix it thry still have a gritty consistency. I heard the shakes are creamier and not gritty.

Sams Club sells the 12 pack of shakes for $16.66. I bought the following:
4 banana and Cream
4 Oreo and Cream
1 Peaches and Cream
1 Strawberries and Cream

At 2 shakes a day this covers me for 60 days and gives me at least 60 grams of Protein a day meeting my minimum.

My surgery is April 18 and my liquid diet technically does not start until April 6 however I'm starting a diet of 2 shakes and 1 low carb high protein meal now February 28. This way if I give in I can pick back up and succeed 2 weeks pre op.

I also want to lose as much as I can pre op so I can have an easier recovery.

My HW was 235 and CW is 220. Lets see if I can get under 200 before surgery. I'm 5 feet tall on the dot.

      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.
