I last meal'd myself 8 pounds higher!!!



Recommended Posts

That's right... I gained 8 pound since my visit to see the surgeon initially on the 11th!! I had my exercise and nutrition classes today and while I was there I was able to do my pre-op with the surgeon today. He wants me to start the diet tomorrow so it looks like I will be having surgery on the 10th or 11th of June. SOO I had a huge pantry cleaning and shopping spree today. I did great at the store picking out high Protein low carb foods. This part of the pre-op diet won't be so rough but I dread the Clear Liquids day! I've been looking into gym memberships and I think I might do 24 hour fitness. I would kinda like to do Premier Lady Fitness but it is by contract...yuck. I just think that I would feel more comfortable and more likely to actually go if there were all women there. I wanna do Water aerobics and the Zumba classes :o Eventually I wanna start taking salsa classes also. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be getting the LAP-BAND® AP standard. I was excited to hear that I only have to wait 5 weeks before my first fill and that he will give me anywhere from 4-6 cc on the first fill. The 2nd and 3rd are 1-1.5cc and then 0.4-0.5 thereafter. This has been a pretty exciting day overall. I just started seeing a guy that I used to go to high school with and I told him about the surgery. Kinda embarassing but he was very supportive. Well, I better get to bed so I can start my pre-op diet in the morning. Night all!!

      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.
