Recommended Posts

its not a (huge) success but to me everything and wanted to share w/my bandits.

about 3 or 4 months ago (my friend here at work, kathy) and i would go

somewhere for an hour lunch. before surgery, she would have to go get

the car and bring it around to where i was (as it was parked a distance away).

i couldnt do it. i was too (large) and not able to walk across the parking lot.

but today, she commented to me about that and saying, now you can.

as martha stewart says, its a good thing

Awesome Virginia!! Small successes certainly add up. Funny thing my wife said to me in the grocery store the other day. I used to struggle walking the store and keeping up with her now she is the one who tries to keep pace with me. My back and legs no longer ache. Just the simple walking of the grocery store is so liberating. So I definitely know how you feel.

I know exactly how you feel, I used to start huffing and puffing after five minutes of walking and I used to move slower than a snail. Fast forward 56 pounds down and I can easily walk a few hours without getting breathless and the best thing my kids say hey mum slow down lol.

      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.
