Starting To Get A Bit Nervous. Surgery On Tuesday



Recommended Posts

I am nervous and excited all at the same time. but hearing people say they haven't lost much weight or there hungry all the time makes me nervous. I am hoping this works, I have been working so hard. but the hunger is what scares me.

Just make sure to get enough Protein and drink/eat before you get crazy hungry. I find if I let myself get too hungry, all sanity is out the window.

Yeah I do really well. I get the munchies at night but it is head hunger not real hunger. I drink Water to curb it or a diet soda cause it kinda bloats me a bit which makes me not want to eat. I have lost 40 lbs. I was banded 3-1-12. If I can do it anyone can!

Some drs are ok with diet soda, some are not. I have one once in awhile. I just dip slowly and enjoy it. As long as it doesn't keep me from drinking enough Water I have no guilt

I was nervous about the same issues...but I am now 5wks out and doing great..On any regular diet you can feel like you are starving, but then on a regular diet, you can end up binging, and then starting back at square one..This way, you get your fills, and keep going..Life is still going to happen, so it will not be like you will never eat certain foods again if this is your choice, but it will get easier to let it go...You can do it!!!!!! :D

      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.
