I can't believe I am opening up like this



Recommended Posts

I have so many feelings, trials and triumphs with the band and I feel like I can't talk to anyone since no one really wants to hear what I am going through.

Soooo I started a blog to get it all out there. Take a peek, I just started today and plan to post often to get it all off my chest.

Follow me on my journey, I think it will give me some accountability too when I know people are watching.

I keep thinking about starting a blog. It's therapeutic, you know? I also had to chuckle about your donuts comments. I, like you, LOVE me some donuts. Especially fresh from the bakery. Haven't had one since the surgery. (Insert sigh here...) But, I'm handling it well.

I was telling a friend of mine today that food is my crack. I need to find a new drug of choice. (Maybe broccoli? Ha!)

By the way, AWESOME weight loss! How are you doing it? I hope to be down like 40 lbs by July. (Total- not from now til July)

      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.
