1 week post op,,,



Recommended Posts

Well it is 1 week today post op...

I am doing pretty good,,,

Since 8/16 when I started the Optifast I have gone from 226.5 to 210.5 by my scale.. 8 of those are post "hitchhiker",,, tongue.gif

Sometimes I am soooo hungry- I guess in my head, but If I get enough Water in I am pretty good feeling...

I started getting nausea spells Saturday morning...

I Gag and try "not on Purpose" to throw up the chewable pre-natal Vitamins... It is soo hard taking them..

I have kept pretty busy too, been doing house work, laundry, cleaning my daughters room, going through all of her clothes, she is 6 and had a major growth spurt, so tall and only weighs 45 lbs.. People kid me and tell me I dont feed her.... took her to the park with HotLikeMe and her kids... Went to her daughters Birthday party, went in the pool for a little bit...Man it was rough they had hamburgers there and Hotdogs, etc... But I took my big jug of Crystal light, and drooled while my Hunny ate his burgers and hot dogs,,,, and french fries baked... cry.gifcry.gifcry.gif

Yes its hard but seeing the "Bonus" pounds come off is great while I am healing.... I can see a difference in my face already, just a lil bit....

GOOD JOB !!

I'm glad your feeling pretty good. Thats always encouraging ;)

Those Vitamins sound horrible. My doctor recommends childrens Vitamins, I'm not sure of the dosage but I think he said you can eat at least 2. Call your doctor up and ask. Vitamins are known for tasting horrible, I can only imagine ICK ICK ICK!!!

CONGRATULATIONS !!!

Congrats and welcome to the banded gentry!

I think all the chewable multi-vits are ICK but I manage with the viactiv multis & Calcium. Less ick.

Excellent! one week out and you are go-go-go! Now that's what I like to see! Remember to be kind to yourself in the next few weeks when you are feeling tired and dont understand. You've just been through a major surgery, and need to be kind.

Excelent work!

      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.
