Vacations worry me. We take a lot of vacations, even just short weekends. This year we agreed to only do our big annual family vacation so I can adjust. Get into my new routine and establish new habits for my "new life". Especially before I worry about eating out and all that.
Binge eating disorder
Sorry to hear that your surgery needed to be rescheduled. I hope the March 2nd date is a go. Good luck!!
Glad you got a surgery date. Looks like omicron is finally peaking most places. Are you gonna stay on the liquid diet until your March surgery?
WOW! Great job to both of you.
) it's near impossible to eat 6 times a day, not drink for 30 minutes before and after meals, take 20-30 minutes to eat each meal, get 64 ounces of water in AND sleep in a 24-hour day. But I think I have convinced him to try it my way. It's still the same amount of protein but in smaller doses. I am hoping that will help with the nausea and discomfort, even if it is reflux. I guess we'll see. That is wild the guidelines created. And nothing after 6p…wow. It is great he has you there to help. I am experiencing discomfort and some nausea, but I was just told to use my zofran and the discomfort I described to them they said should reduce as healing continues and swelling continues to decrease. I was also told to eat/drink a lot slower, which I thought I was, but maybe I’m judging from my norm. I was told sip an ounce every 5-10 mins and when I eat pudding or yoghurt only fill a third to half a toddler spoonful. I go on purée 31st. Just waiting for the opportunity to mix it up.I know some of you have asked for a hubby update, since you have similar surgery dates/experiences. So here it is.
He is moving on to puree tomorrow and I have agreed to make mashed potatoes. I don't think he was this happy on our wedding day lol
He is down a total of 53lbs, including the 3-week pre-op diet he had to do. He is still having occasional bouts of nausea & vague discomfort that he is concerned might be acid reflux. Since he didn't have it before, he's not sure. I really hope that isn't the case already, since he's not even on food yet.
The program has really changed the rules since I had my surgery, and the general doctor has gone crazy (IMHO!!) She told him only 3 meals a day, don't eat or drink after 6pm and to avoid cheese at all costs. This is causing a bit of a problem, since he has to eat too much at one time to get his protein in and it doesn't allow adequate time for water intake. Which I believe is the cause of the nausea and discomfort.
I was told 6 small meals a day, cheese is a good source of protein, and no one mentioned anything about a deadline to eat or drink. By the SAME program!! He has been a bit resistant to taking advice from me, because we did have different surgeries and he wants to do it on his own .. except for the meal prep/cooking part lol And apparently, if you do the math (he's an engineer, we always have to do the math
If any of you guys had/have the nausea discomfort, I'd appreciate any tips on how you got through it. I didn't have many issues and honestly, it was a long time ago.
Wow Missy. Is this "regular doctor" part of the bariatric team or is just a regular pcp? If not bariatric, maybe they don't understand why hubby MUST have water after 6pm, and possibly food/snacks after 6 also. Somehow that just doesn't seem possible to follow that time table after surgery.I know some of you have asked for a hubby update, since you have similar surgery dates/experiences. So here it is.
