Recommended Posts

if you sum up 5 pound per month that 50lbs. in 10 months on a slow pace but healthier. i lost quick but slong with it i lost my hair and i was misrable the entire journey cause i ended up in the Er. several times for dehydration. Sometime you walk out of there ok and the next day you cant even take a sip. and by the time you get back in there its been a good 3-7 day of maddness cause the weekend crossed you or a holiday or he was in surgery. with my experience they either put tooo muvh or put too little or take out tooo much. im a Cash patient. So when your poping out $400 bills at a time it because fustruating. i was in the green zone for 18 months at 153 pounds size 9 and deciede to loss more and go down to size 5 .. so i go in get an adjustment keep in mind my doctor suggested me nit to that i looked fine. He did the adjustment i lost and dropped to a size 5 but i was so tight from my band that in the middle if the night i aspirated Fluid into my lung and got and infection. my doctor went into the hospital and took out all the fluid cause i could keeped anything down. that made me gainweight cause then u gotta take the med with food. uuugh! so now i have my fluid back in and back on track to losing weight. i sleep elevated up now to avoid aspiration back up.. Be patient sometimes by us rushing then we make things it worst..

      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.
