December 26, 2018 Bypass Surgery Twins??



Recommended Posts

I was on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks post surgery. I thought I was going to die of starvation! But alas, here I am! I am now on a 4 week stint of pureed/soft foods. I see the surgeon again on Feb 7th. I have no idea what's coming next. I am down 25 lb post surgery at the moment. Its never been so easy to so consistenly lose weight. Really amazing!
Way to go!! I have lost 21 since surgery. I had a bit of a stall when I went to pureed foods. I think I had lost a lot of muscle weight during the pre-op liquid and post op. I went back to work on the 9th, so my activity level increased about 500%. I was having a hard time getting in Protein, but doing better now. Staying hydrated is a little hard. At work, I keep a small bottle with me that is a mixture of Powerade Zero, Water, and ice. All my work clothes are too big now. Lol.

All clothes being too big is way better than then all being too small. [emoji23] Good for you!

I’m doing the Protein shots because nothing taste right, and I’m having a hard time finding really soft or mushy foods. I’m also doing yogurt.

I am mixing one TBLSP of GENEPRO (30g protein) in my yogurt, cottage cheeses, etc, to get in the needed Protein. Its available on Amazon and worth it. Absolutely no taste. I can't drink the protein shakes....ugh! Genepro is my life saver!

Also available at Bariatric Pal Store and you're not enriching the. corporate spider of Amazon. I bought some along with many other items from B.P.S. and they do very fast shipping, no time at all from N.Y. to Ohio.

      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.
