Interesting thing I found out



Recommended Posts

Okay... Swinging the hands of time back just a tad.... I was married 17 years ago. I lived in another state from my fiance but was moving to Nashville where he lived after we got married. I didn't have a local doctor but I knew I wanted to go on BCP's after our marriage, so my wonderful fiance located a doctor here in Nashville so that I could get checked out and a prescription.

When I was sitting in the waiting room, I kept noticing that all the patients were elderly. So I casually walked up to the receptionist window and took one of his business cards and it said that he was a Geriatric doctor!! I could have died! My fiance obviously didn't know what a Geriatric doctor was or got confused! LOL... I went through my appointment without any problems, got my prescription and promptly found an OBGYN for my next visit....

Ok.. back to 2006.... I see this Geriatric physician's name when I'm searching for a fill doctor in Nashville. I obviously thought it was a typo. But to no avail, he's now doing fills for Fillcenters USA..... Maybe Geriatric is a lot like Bariatric? Go figure....

      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.
