Liquid diet bandster hell......



Recommended Posts

Hello to all,

Today is day 7 on liquid diet and day 5 post op. I was put on a seven day post op clear liquid diet which consist of broth, Jello, popsicle, etc. I find myself going through an emotional rollercoster. I am a wife and a mother of 3 boys ages 13, 10 and 1. I feel bad to say this but I really wish I could go away far from my family until this liquid diet is over. It's hard to smell the food cooking and continue feeding the kids when I'm just dying for some. I'm not physically hungry, I'm just so sick of the liquids. Please send some inspiration my way.

Thanks

Just keep drinking and it'll go by really fast.

2 days of liquids is nothing compared to all the god ahead! Keep at it!

Call your Nutritionist or Surgeon tomorrow and see if you can get permission to move up to the next phase. Best wishes on coping successfully with a difficult situation. Whatever the answer is you can cope.....you are a mother!!!

I had the same problem. Cooking for family was hell. And my 3 yr old is always wanting what I have. So her delicious meal would sit there, and she would beg for my shakes and Jello. Now she wants my yogurt and cottege cheese. Doesn't she realize how good she has it?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
