The End of Summer Challenge



Recommended Posts

Checking in. Missed last week - I was out of town and my DIL's scale was no help what so ever. It changed what I weighed every time it was moved... Sheesh

Weight is the same 251. Not what I wanted to report but at least I didn't gain while on vacation so it's a victory for me.

I had the same question.

I have a new surgeon and wanted another fill. He told me since I was a year out, he wanted me to try this test. He advices all his clients to do it after a year to help shrink the pouch :blink:

Thanks Julia, now I have Neil Diamond songs stuck in my head for the rest of the day. The problem is I only know a line or two from any of them.

      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.
