April 2022 Surgery Buddies



Recommended Posts

Random question for those who have already gone through the surgery. How do you take your Vitamins on an empty stomach? If I take vitamins on an empty stomach it makes me sick to my stomach and I don't want to risk that right out of surgery. Any suggestions?

The 6th for me! I am so ready. I'm starting to feel comfortable on the liquid diet and I'm enjoying watching the scale go down. It makes all the agony in those first two days worth it.

Great to hear and congrats! I start my 2 wk liquid diet tomorrow and I’m so nervous

Surgery is wednesday. I'm on day 6 of 7 pre op liquid diet and it's gotten much easier. The first two or three days were rough but its better now. I find when I drink my Protein Drinks that that fills me up pretty well and I drink the broth for dinner because it relaxes me for bed and then snack on Jello and popsicles if I want. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I'm getting anxious for surgery but I'm so ready. I'm down 10 lbs just 5 days in this pre op liquid diet!!!! I haven't seen this number in a long long time and I'm really happy!
I'm doing about the same thing for my liquid phase. Just one more day to get thru work!

You can ask your nutritionist. I know our program starts you on a children's chewable at day 4 after surgery. That continues until week four and then you still take but add B12 Calcium and D. Each program will vary

Kimmy Kaye, I find it easier for me to not be distracted when I'm at work. When I'm at home I just keep staring at the goldfish crackers on top of the fridge begging me to eat them. LMAO. :) I'm glad I have someone going through it the same day as me. :) Keep in touch okay?

Oh my goodness, I couldn't do work from home right now. It would be torture. The biggest torture right now is cooking for my kids. I always snacked on whatever I was cooking as I cooked so it's been so hard for me to just cook the food!!!! But I'm proud of myself for sticking to it. I didn't think I was going to be able to do it, but I have!

      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.
