One Week Down!!



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I know I don't post much here, but I wanted to let you all know that I had my surgery one week ago today!! I have lost two pounds, but that's not really my concern right now. I saw the surgeon and got my first fill appt. He said everything was looking good. Haven't been hungry in the slightest, but I have had some pain in my left shoulder.

I'm drinking sugar-free Carnation instant Breakfast for my Protein and am on full liquids for another week.

Thanks for all the info on this site, it has been great!

Hi Jacee,

Glad to know you're doing well. I drink the same Carnation drink and I love it compared to the Protein Drinks my husband drinks when he's working out.

Today is day 7 for me...and I actually got hungry yesterday. freaked me out...maybe i'm not taking in enough fluids.

keep up the good work!

Yeah, I was banded April 3, I went through that pain for 2 weeks...It's gas, and my doctor told me that I had to walk it off...I also went and got some Gas Relief over the counter and that still didn't work...So my doctor told me that it wasn't that type of gas, it was the gas they use during surgery and it needed to come out...But that pain hurts like hell

      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.
