Excited for the new me



Recommended Posts

I AM TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM STARTING MY NEW LIFE. I HAVE SUCH HIGH HOPES FOR THIS SURGERY. I AM PRAYING TO GET MY LIFE BACK. I WAS OUT WITH THE KIDS TODAY THINKING THIS IS THE LAST TIME MOMMY WILL HAVE TO STOP PLAYING BECAUSE SHE HURTS OR SHE IS TIRED. NEXT YEAR THIS TIME, I WILL BE ABLE TO "HANG" WITH MY GIRLS. I GOT ON THIS SITE TWO YEARS AGO LOOKING FOR INFORMATION FOR MY MOTHER, WHO KNEW TWO YEARS LATER, I WOULD BE ON HERE FOR MY OWN SURGERY. MY TENTATIVE BANDING DATE IS APRIL 6, BUT I WILL KNOW DEFINITELY ON TUESDAY. I WILL NEED ALL OF YOU ALLS HELP THROUGH THIS PROCESS. I AM NERVOUS ABOUT THE CHANGES BUT EXCITED AT THE SAME TIME. DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?:)

      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.
