I've been busy obsessing about upcoming surgery, prop diet, work, recovery, etc. Basically I'm a mess. I'm sure after Monday I'll start to obsess about post op diet, port pain, slips, hydration, etc.

i was going to be off work untill my surgery wenesday but I am going in to work for a friend today who needed off for a family emergancy.I have had alot of time on my hands but i am now wondering how i will do at work on this preop diet. I have been doing great at home, even if i have only lost 2 lbs in the 2 days. I have not had the desire to cheat on it at all.

Working is a good thing, once your physically ready for it. Gets your mind off your worries and back into dealing with day to day reality. I was the same way but it was good for me to not be focused on my band or food. One thing I am noticing is I'm not as concerned about food now as much as I was before I decided to get banded. Like I planned my day around when I was going to eat and what I was going to have. That's probably a good thing, right?

Enjoy your day Deb. Nice of you to take someone's shift on your week off. Hope your also taking some time AFTER your surgery.

That's good. I enjoyed being able to just lay around the week after surgery. Think it helped me heal quicker.

Well, I had a long 2 hour pre-op appt. my surgery is 3 weeks from Monday. I'm nervous about all the rules. This many grams of this and that and portion sizes. I'm sure it's going to become second hat once it gets going just overwhelming.

 

I have lost 15 lbs in about 5 weeks so I'm excited by that!

 

I also went and picked up my post surgery Vitamins. Anyone else get there's?

      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.
