Pre-surgery: What great things does the future hold?



Recommended Posts

I want to be able to walk for hours long without pain. I miss those days where I was able to walk from one length of the Jersey Shore boardwalk and back with no problem. I want to be able to go back down to Disney World and walk' date=' instead of using the scooter. I want to be able to ride a bicycle, or maybe roller skate.

So many things I look forward to doing again, Its mostly physical activities that will be challenging, but the end reward will be to actually accomplish these simple tasks that we take for granted every day, that is what I mostly look forward to....[/quote']

I moved to FL in June and went to Disney. I was disappointed that I also had to rent a scooter! My goal is to go before Christmas with at lease 100 pounds less!

Yup, I want to be able to finish this ride. I tried to train for it last year, but I just couldn't push my bulk fast enough, forlong enough to do it. My only concern is that I won't be able to lose the weight and train at the same time. So, if not this year, then next.

      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.
