Post-op day three



Recommended Posts

I don't think I'm hungry, but I am constantly thinking about food. It may sound crazy, but I cannot tell sometimes if the pain in my tummy is gas or hunger. I think more gas.

I hate to admit it, but I licked the sour cream off a chip :cool:. My body is taking longer that I thought to adjust to not eating.

We went to Walmart this morning and I reached for the Crystal light and almost fainted. My husband was scared. I was too, but did not let him know. The pillow helped out a lot during the drive (my tummy didn't wiggle as much) . I am not consuming enough liquids. I am trying, but I am not thirsty. I do not regret my decision, but hope that mentally and physically I will be ok. Man...I wish this gas in chest would move, it hurts to breath. I worked up the nerve to remove all the bandages. Not too band, I get creeped out very easily. Good luck everyone :)!

Band75..it's an old addage, I know but it's one that Ive reapeated to myself over and over again during this pre-op diet and its that " nothing worhtwhile, is ever easy" and boy does this "project" prove that to be eer so true !! But IT WILL GET EASIER and IT WILL GET BETTER and girl when you fit into those jeans or that ultra sexy lingerie in a couple of months...Man you're gonna kick yourself for thinking you couldnt do this !!

If it helps, what I did was have the hubby pick out the ultimate ligerie that he would die to see me in, prined it out and taped it to my closet door with a note that says " Remember the goal", did the same on the fridge except I folded the paper over and taped it so my guest don't freak out on me !!

Hope it helps !!!

      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.
