Banding on December 19



Recommended Posts

I do have a 45 minute commute so I'll try to remember to drink then too. But I'm usually too busy driving fast and switching lanes. Lol.

I think I'll try a Water bottle that actually has measurement marks. That way I can be more sure how much I am actually getting in.

I use a measuring cup and poor Water from my frig it into my waterbottle. I pack enough Water for the day and if I'm not done by my home commute I finish at home. Crystal lite helps when I get sick of water.

Anything I do is when I gt my morning coffe from starbucks, smallest size now with non fat milk, I ask for a large (venti cup) of water. That holds 24 oz and fits in my cup holder. I refill it 2 more times and I'm good. It doesn't seem overwhelming that way.

I try to have my water by me all day and I continuously take small sips. I stop 10 mins before I eat. Then I set my alarm on my phone for one hour. When I hear the alarm, I start sipping again. I think the phone alarm really helps.

Just to clarify,,.I mean after my commute home I bring in my unfinished Water bottles and drink from them. They are various sizes but it's fine bc in the morning I measured out 8 cuos with my measuring cup and filled up the bottles with that.

not anything I do...another thing I do...that was a typo...on days I don't have time to pre measure my Water, I do the starbucks venti trick.

      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.
