Trying to get back on track



Recommended Posts

This has been a very rough few months for me. I mentioned in an earlier post that I was originally scheduled for surgery on May 21. I had gone on a pre-op diet that included 2 Protein Shakes a day and then a light meal at night. I was doing great, until one of my wisdom teeth became abscessed. Of course it had to happen 1 week before my surgery. At that point, they had to cancel the surgery until I had the tooth pulled. Luckily that all happened within a week, but by then I felt like I was in limbo so to speak. It took more than a week after I had the tooth pulled before I got a new date, and that put me out to July 9. It has been very difficult to get back on track. So now that I'm just about two weeks out, I need to get that focus back again. I'm not really worried about the surgery at this point, but I am worried that something may happen again to postpone it. Is that crazy? It's so frustrating. I'm hoping by posting this, it will help to get the focus back. Thanks for listening :ohmy:

      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.
