9 days since surgery



Recommended Posts

I believe this is where I belong. I'm in my 60 's!

The surgery was short, the pain was not that bad at all and I am feeling better each day. The pounds are melting away and I am not thinking about food 24/7. How great is that?

I am looking forward to some good information, tips and maybe some recipes in this support group.

To new friends.

Welcome ..I hope when I get done I am as possitive as you and problem free....

I think getting the head to STOP thinking about food will be the most difficult for me ...

I am sure I never ate because I was hungry I just love food especially sweets thats my down fall..

I have been good for the past few weeks trying to get off some of the Christmas cheer..

My appointment is Monday I will know more then when or if I will be banded...I guess its up to the specialist , I don`t know if he will order health tests to be done prior or not, I had the blood test done he wanted before the appointment ..so fingers crossed..

Once again Welcome here (I am new too) and CONGRATULATIONS on a smooth transition....

Keep us posted....

P.S.. I just noticed the date ..this is an old post ..lol..silly me...

      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.
