My Journey. 290 lbs



Recommended Posts

Hello I love this form and have decided I am going to do a very detail journey review. I am hoping this will help others as it will help me. I will have many youtube videos pics what I eat. My pants size ect. Every detail I can think of. I want to start by my age 30 290lbs 5'9. I start my 2 week liquid diet on the 29th. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I have downloaded My Fitness Pal and order that step counter and scale that sync with it. Awesome going to love that. Next I have my Protein Shakes ready to go. I am having my surgery done in Mexico Dr. Kuri. Jan 11th 2012 Will update all of that information also. Have already made my apt for my fill Dr afterwards. Set my workout schedule and purchase a new pair of tennis shoes. Thank you for letting me post. Talk to you again soon.

Great job! Sometimes we have to take this in baby steps and taking it one day at a time is a great way to do it. One day closer. :)

As for "a new Dawn"... no kudos for me, since my name is Dawn I came up w/ it pretty easy.

      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.
