Recommended Posts

Hi:)

My name is Mandy and Ive been looking around on this thing since surgery but never posted and thought ooohhh why not!!?

Anyways last night I went to this special bariatric cooking class with a special chef that teaches and two nutritionist ladies to answer questions throughout. Last night we had a little taste test for summer grilling and cooking. Had tequilla lime chicken and mango citrus salmon! WAS AMAZING!!! Got the recipes so will for sure need to try them at some point soon!

Question is --- Is there anyone in the Austin area that would like to go with? It happens twice a month and the next one is SUSHI! YUM!

Would be nice to form a group and enjoy company of fellow wls people. Get together at the class or even outside of class.

THE CLASS IS FREE!!! HERES THE SCHEDULE:: So far posted

Sushi - June 8

Healthy Mexican Cuisine - June 22

1 Bag, 5 Meals - July 13

Grocery Store Tour - July 27

Wow, that sounds like fun! I am not scheduled for surgery until 6/8, and I am down in San Antonio, but I would be willing to "make a night of it" for one of the July classes.

      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.
