Let's give Thanks and 40lb weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Guess who, a blast from the past. Please forgive me, it's been about a month since my last post when my husband and I were crusing to Bermuda. The Cruise was the Best ever!

I have a lot to be Grateful for Today...3 years Cancer Free this past September, and an official -40lb weight lost in 8 months. My blood pressure is well below normal, I take 1/2 the medications I use to take, and working out 5 times a week for 30 minutes. My weight lost is slow BUT I am heading in the right direction.

I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

      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.
