Hey my gastric bypass family!

Boy what a rough day it was! Clearly my mind has to adjust to this new life style.
Im legit having flashbacks of junk food in my head. Which is embarrassing I know 😰

I’m just 3 days out of surgery. I haven’t did the number 2 yet,, which I don’t know if it’s normal?
But yeah I’m so sore, the surrounding of my incisions is turning a bit blue/green , cuz it was a deep cut so I think it’s just bruising.! But if somebody has an idea what it can be?? It would be welcome

Ofcourse to top that off, I have my period 😑

Well my liquids are harder today. Yesterday I drank 2 liters of Water. (I don’t do ounces, I’m from Europe! )
But today I can’t even finish 1 liter.
broth goes down well, yogurt too but the evening meal is a bit tough.

So yeah I’m just in bed. And hoping for a safe recovery!! The anti blood clot injections is really a pain too and also waking up with morning sickness 🤢 but if you take anti acid it helps right away luckily.

Well I’m gonna try to get some water down and if plain water doesn’t help , I must put something in my water like sugar free Syrup to get it down my throat , so to speak.

So far I don’t experience any regret. I don’t experience “fear of missing out on food” yet.

But I do get flashbacks of junk food and I still have the hunger in my mind while my pouch is clearly full.
I think it’s the lack of liquids.

Anyway I’m done rambling thanks for listening ! Maybe I will come back and talk about my surgery and explain more what happend for the people that think about doing it and still have doubts or fear of the pain cuz I was there!!

Anyway take care y’all. Xoxo

      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.
