SURGERY TOMORROW !!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Can't believe tomorrow is the big day...I'm feeling so many emotions right now....my life will have a new start tomorrow...I'm ready for my body to match my brain....it's funny because I've never felt the way I look...I've always felt sexy and beautiful and then I look at my body and it doesn't match...which I've always been told I was curvy and I have a pretty face...but I want to take back control of my body....I'm to young to waste any more years being unhappy...I want to eat healthy and only to fuel my body...not to eat to Celebrate or because I'm sad or happy or as a part of fellowship....if you think about it we use food for everything....having a baby ? Let's eat..getting married ? Let's eat...got a promotion ? Let's eat...bored ? Let's eat !! I am choosing to be the best me that I can be !!! Saying many prayers for myself and all you guys...my anxiety is thru the roof but that's just me :-) so here's to having nothing to eat or drink after midnight....ahh surgery eve !!!!!!!!

I feel the same way. I always tell people I have the opposite of anorexia and think I'm smaller than I am. Lol for example at 235lbs I did a cartwheel the other day and couldn't figure out why I couldn't lift my arm an hour later until I really thought about it. All that weight on one arm is no bueno. I can't wait to do cartwheels without hurting myself. Lol anyway I'm very excited for you. Let us know how you do!

Good luck on your new YOU. It has been great for me. I lost 24 so far and am doing very good on food choices. Just make sure you get enough Protein. That is very helpful when you don't want to feel hungry. I have 3 Protein Drinks a day between meals. It really does work.

Good luck. You will be great. When I am not eating around other people I tell them. " I already ate". They think I ment an hour ago. I know I ate in the 70's, 80's,90's and most of this century.

YOu deserve to be happy. Go for it!

      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.
