Lead Us Not Into Temptation.......



Recommended Posts

So I decided to take some advice I found on this forum and roast me a couple of chickens so I can save the broth and freeze it for some post op meals. Great idea! Except I would like to ammend that advice....HAVE SOMEONE ELSE COOK FOR YOU IN THEIR HOUSE! OMG....it smelled soooooo freakin' good. I have done pretty well on my pre-op diet with the two shakes a day and one meal with hardly any snacking but I am afraid I ate a little bit of the chicken and some skin(my favorite part). I didn't go overboard and it is still Protein but the smells are a big problem.

My surgery is Friday. I have lost 20 lbs in about a month...half of which I lost in the last two weeks. Do ya'll think I screwed this up? I am a little freaked right now.......

One little screw-up isn't going to do anything as long as you keep it at that and don't let it derail your efforts. Just don't do it again. Use it as a learning experience to learn about what triggers your eating behavior. That's my two cents...

      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.
