Recommended Posts

Hey!! How are you doing? Haven't heard from you since you posted this. If you want to get together on Monday or something, you can email me at mpate@ufl.edu. I've love to meet up. I'm not doing much on Monday. Hope you're doing good.

Hey everyone,

Hope everyone is doing well with their recovery. I ended up not having to stay the night at the hospital but was in a lot of pain even with the pain meds. Started feeling better after monday. I am already starting to eat solid foods sortof. Been doing eggs, mashed potatoes, and chicken salad with no problems. I will be coming back to Gainesville on Sunday the 4th and school doesnt start till the 6th. If anybody wants to meet up, let me know.

I believe it took my insurance 2-3 weeks to get me approved. I actually ended up getting 2 letters in the mail: one saying I was approved and the other one saying I wasn't approved. I had to call the insurance company to find out which one was right!

Let me know if you all want to get together this weekend for lunch or coffee.

      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.
