Recommended Posts

I've thr read posts about lllong needles and multiple sticks, so pray it works out ok. I saved a little codine just in case.

The rules i get to follow after a fill are just liquids for the rest of the day, does not have to be "clear liquids". The day after it is ok to have soft foods if tollerated then proceed normally. Personally i do the liquid thing the day of the fill and the day after just to avoid any complications. I ease back into it.

My doctor recommends liquids for the rest of the day after the fill and one day after. Then 2 days mushies. He says the fill makes you swollen. Liquids dont have to be clear. I use Protein Shakes as well.

Those 4 days, I lose weight so I adhere to it. Also I appreciate the mushies when i get to them and then food after that. Good Luck and

ask your doctor what he recommends.

Had my first fill yesterday 4cc. I was told to do liquid so I had chicken broth for dinner. Today I ate cream of wheat for Breakfast only 4oz I was scared to have more, then I will try my Protein shake......I think I am going to stay on liquid (full) not clear for the next few days and work my way back up to soft foods again. I dont mind I have not felt hungry at all after my surgery and If the weight comes off I'm fine with liquid and soft. :):redface:

      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.
