9 days post op - feeling good - but drinking too much???



Recommended Posts

I’m 9 days out and feel really good! Have been walking a little everyday since I’ve been home. I have been drinking Premier Protein shakes and am able to get all 11 oz in within 20 - is that bad? Too much?

I was like that as well and the PA at my surgeon's office said not to worry about. But if you're concerned, I'd just call them and ask.

I had my surgery on 11/13 and my Premier Protein drink is done in 20-30 minutes. I just like to get it over with - it is most important for me to get it down period. I will be glad when I get down to 1 a day and then none - which will be a while.

So long as you're drinking without discomfort, you're fine. Some people have it easy, others have to go extremely slowly due to swelling. You appear to be one of the lucky ones! (As was I)

Nope, you're fine. I too was able to get mine down in 20 mins at that time if I worked at it.

      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.
