Good day, hard evening



Recommended Posts

Today was the first day of my 2-week pre-op diet. Totally focused. Did well all day even though I got really weak and tired about 2:30. Did OK this evening until my husband cooked a T-bone steak. Oh-ug-hoh-my. That smell is doing a number on me. But I'll make it! I guess I'll be at this site a lot trying to keep motivated. :thumbup:

Oh no, Carol! I haven't thought yet about how that might be, the first time my family cooks an awesome dinner and I'm on liquids...

If all goes well this week, I will start my pre-op diet on Nov. 8th, and be banded on the 23rd. I'm excited but really nervous. Turkey broth for me for Thanksgiving! Did you get a surgery date yet?

I started today also and right now this evening is the hardest for me. My husband has agreeded to cook dinner for himself and my son before I get home from work which will be very helpful. I have BSN bananna pudding flavor protien for my evening snack when he has his bowl of ice cream. I just keep telling myself I can make this work.:wub:

My date WAS 11-11. But complications set in. I've been so bummed out, I haven't been back to this site.

Do you mean solid Proteins? My proteins were liquid, but the steamed vegies did help once I added them. Then all came crashing down. I'll write about it in a new post.

My journey came to a screaching halt. More on that in a new post. Hope all is going well for you.

      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.
