Yet another update. hahaha



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!

I know that it's been some time since I've posted anything but I just wanted to give an update!!

Okay so as you may or may not know...The past couple of months, I've been waiting to hear.

Well, in a few hours, I head for the first appointment to get this party started...

It's very surreal. It's been a couple months since I've heard so I'm nervous, excited, and scared a little bit all at the same time!!

I'm 20 years old so I'm hoping that once it's all said and done and the weight starts to come off, hopefully I'll still be young enough and my skin will still hold some elasticity in bouncing back. Mehh...I'll be happy either way. :-D

This is so corny but at 3:41am, Sarah gets really weird from lack of sleep. hahaha.

Anyway, I'm very excited and I'm looking forward to posting on this thing once again when I know more after my appointment in the morning!!

Talk to you later, peeps!!

Byee!

Congrats! We're about the same age. Hope your appointment goes well. Per the skin issue, it depends on your genetics, how long you've been overweight, etc. I was banded pretty young and my skin hasn't/won't go back to normal, but nothing surgery can't fix.

Good luck!

Good luck, I think that you have a good chance of getting your shape without plastci surgery because of your age.

      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.
