Feeling Human Today



Recommended Posts

I'm finally feeling human today. Admittedly, I was feeling better each day after the operation, but today I feel a lot less fuzzy. I think getting off the anti-nausea patch last night helped with that (although my vision is still blurry).

Yesterday, I started on mushies, and even before I put anything in my mouth, I had bad heartburn and felt kind of bummed out and uncomfortable. I have a lot less heartburn today. My incisions are itchy, but don't hurt as much. All in all, I'm feeling a bit more positive about the operation. I've lost 10 lbs or so so far, and it's probably mostly Water, but I like how loose my watch and ring feel! I have been eating my cottage cheese and refried Beans and eggs and yogurt, a little bit every couple of hours, and I don't feel starving like I did at the end of the liquid stage. I'm even considering what recipes to make that I can blend up in the soft foods stage.

It's like being ill and getting better; the best feeling in the world!

Glad you are feeling better! I wish I could go to mushies, I still have to wait 11 more days, argh! I can't wait to chew.

I did have an NSV today that made me not feel so sorry for myself. I was down a size in clothes, I needed new pants and was pretty excited when I went down a size!

That's great! When my dietician was talking about post surgery she made a suggestion for the mushie stage of Spaghetti Bolognese blended and risotto blended...I am already looking forward to giving it a try :biggrin:

      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.
