Terrified of my PreOp Diet
chefette replied to TaraBell's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Tarabell, how are you doing? Diet going alright? What did your surgeon say about broth? I am a trained chef so if you need some ideas pre-op or post about how to make life bearable on liquids let me know. My favorite was canned or homemade chicken broth seasoned with slices of garlic, ginger, and a little soy sauce heated on the stove for about 15 minutes. (scoop out the ginger and garlic) Add thinly sliced scallions (green onions), and if you can have eggs scramble a couple in a bowl and let a thin stream fall into the Soup as you stir. It makes a great egg drop soup that is flavorful, no carb, and protein-full. (you can use egg whites only if you wish) Good luck! -
I completed my first CrossFit workout yesterday. Thought I was going to die!!! I love tough workouts, but it kicked my butt thoroughly! I can't wait to gain the benefits of doing it regularly. I go to CF Sparta in Lutz, FL. Anyone else out there? If you live in the area let me know and we can cheer each other on and keep accountable.

Looking for some cycling buddies in Tampa Bay, FL for riding on the Suncoast Trail and Starkey park, and anywhere else we can find! Send me a message if you're interested. Chefette

Hi Neptune,
It's been over a week now and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm sleeping fine, and I hardly notice my incisions except when they itch!
Let me know about the support group. I might bring my mom too. She had the Lap Band in St. Pete with Dr. Renke, but it's been slow going.
I've lost just about 20 pounds since I started the pre-op diet. I started a little earlier than two weeks before just to get my body use to eating less. I need to jump start myself again with some fun exercise.
I'm going to start riding my bike on the trail along the Suncoast Pkwy. You probably have a normal schedule of 9-5, but if you are interested in joining me let me know. I like to go fast, but we can work up to that if you want.
I think supporting each other is the way to go. It's easy to get distracted and disheartened. Now we have a tool that we can use to be successful.
Sorry, I guess you can see I am a talker....
. Talk to you soon Neptune!Chefette

I was banded November 5 2008 and I live in Spring Hill, but I'm actually in Pasco County right off of SR 52. I've lost just about 20lbs since my pre-op diet started. I'm looking for those who would like to meet up for exercise, cooking classes, and general supportive efforts. I am a trained professional cook. I'd like to come up with some recipes for pre-op and post-op stages that are delicious and healthy. I was also banded in Tijuana by Dr. Corvala. If anyone has questions about my experiences I'd love to talk to you. It was a FIRST Class operation in Mexico and I was treated like a queen. Kisses to all, Chefette:biggrin:

I just wanted to say hello. I just returned from Tijuana on Friday. My tummy is still unsettled from the surgery. I live in the Hudson/Spring Hill area. Do you attend a support group locally? Great progress so far Neptune! Keep it up!!! You better watch it or I might catch up!!

I'm back from Tijuana and feeling pretty good. I can't wait to heal up so I can start being more active and get this party started! Any other FL peeps in the Tampa Bay area? I want to get involved with a support group locally. Chefette

I'm getting banded November 5! So excited. Hello to All!!!

Hi, I'm officially a BANDSTER!!! Banded Nov. 5. I just got back yesterday from San Diego. I had my band surgery at Hospital Angeles in Tijuana. The hospital was very clean and stylish. The care was better than I've ever experienced in the States! If anyone is considering Mexico you can contact me. I had Dr. Corvala as my surgeon. Kiss Kiss Chefette
