Inspiration/Support for I cannot do it alone



Recommended Posts

TO ALL OF YOU (Post-op, Pre-op, Banded, Non-Banded~you get my point) I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU :cursing:. This forum has been a godsend to me, and with the daily struggles which plague my life, I thank YOU. The stories you bring are enlightening and help me greatly. It is nice to know that no matter what, I am experiencing the same difficulties and triumphs that you are. It feels good to know that you ALL help me, daily (shoot, hourly because I spend so much time on here..pushing aside my responsibilities,:ciappa:). If i never say it again, please know that I look up to you and your journeys, your difficulties and successes. You help me to utilize my strengths and acknowledge my weaknesses. Through you, I have realized that I am human and cannot do it alone. So again, I state.......THANK YOU.:unsure:

:rolleyes2:Your words were very nice and I for one agree whole heartedly. I too was banded in April and even though my children support me and my best friend, they have never had this battle of weight. I feel like they do not really understand my shame or the feelings that come with this. I really needed someone who has been where I am at and where I am going. Thank you also from me to all. I feel better knowing that I am not in this battle alone. :tongue2:

In August I will have been reading posts from here for a year. I don't think I could have come this far in my journey without these people. Reading the posts inspire me. Posting myself, teaches me and encourages me and I have made life long friends here too. So, I couldn't agree more with the OP and Posters of this thread. I, too, want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart....Dottie

      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.
