Seminar Tomorrow. !!!



Recommended Posts

going to the seminar tomorrow. hope it goes by quickly its over an hours drive away for me and its late in the evening. I have a list of questions written down and im ready to go! i hope this process flies by, i see some ppl have maybe 3 weeks between the seminar and their surgery date. id love to see this done before the holidays. Im walking everyday or every other day depending on my lovely fall ga/fla might rain might not kinda weather. trying to push my limits everytime i walk. i have two young children so its kinda hard to jog and make my 3yr old keep up with me lol but im trying. i want to get into this routine now before i have surgery so it isnt a huge hurdle afterwords. my daughter and i had signs yesterday to in every room ( the bathroom, bedroom, living room, and kitchen and on doors ) saying "YOU CAN GO THIS!" "KEEP YOUR HEAD UP " "NEVER LOOK BACK" "she decorated them for me with pretty flowers and shapes :) when i go in for surgery ill take pictures and put them next the signs. SO MANY PPLANSSSS!! i told my husband today ( after i knocked something off a side table with my stomach" i said "ill be damn happy when my boobs stick out farther then my belly does" he thinks im a comedian . lol

can someone tell me why some ppl have restrictions and other ppl dont?

I think three weeks is really quick. Are you paying or using insurance? Since the band is adjustable, it takes some folks longer or more fills before restriction. For some folks the band might not even work for them. Talk with your surgeon.

Best wishes on this journey!

      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.
