Recommended Posts

Hello to all !!! Alot of you have been asking how I a doing well I am ding ALoT better than I ever expected of course I am very swelled an sore. I also had hernia repair. I am taking my pain meds also. But I have something else to say we are certified foster parents an tonight I got a call for a placement of a 10 ur old girl . Knowing how much pain I was in I was reluctant at first to take her but we recently adopted an 8 yr old an thought this would help my Lil girl also for a playmate so we said yes !! I'm not saying this to get praise but I just wanted to share how when you are at your worse an unsure what's next. God sent joy to a little girl tonight an our family as well knowing she is safe now :). Thanks to everyone for your concern I mean this from the bottom if my heart

      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.
