Ok, I need some uplifting! I have been craving Protein, so a week ago

i tried it...went down smoothly. so I just started week 4 post-op, and

i have spent the last week eating meat. My husband posed a good

question tonight...is this ok? am I taking words too far with if you

feel fine?

I really started this to be strict to the book. Also, when can I be

intimate with my husband again?

Any others banded the week of 8/11-8/15 where I am or am I messing this up?:shades_smile:

Thanks!

As far as eating goes...I always think it's best to consult with your doctor and let him/her decide what is ok or not.

And for the initmacy...most docs will say 4-6 weeks or when you are comfortable to do so.

whoops i was at it after 3 days, no body told me you couldnt do IT. As far as eating meat, i guess if it is blended, then no probs, also depends what it is, if it is soft fish, or chicken that is diff than beef, lamb or pork, take care.

I was banded on 8/11 and was told that beef was off limits for 6 months. I did try it once but had to spit it out because I just knew it wasn't going to go down...

As for sex, 4 to 6 weeks! Are you kidding me!!! We waiting about 1 week, and that was more than my poor husband could take! lol

When you feel comfortable just take it easy and go for it. Its amazing how much better you feel about yourself when you can feel the difference!

Good luck.

      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.
