Recommended Posts

Cant believe how much that hurt! BUT i am feeling so much better each day. I am like a beached whale...cannot get up or down by myself--the fam finds this quite amusing. dont even try laughing...killer pain. I am still taking oral pain meds but not as much. I am getting in some Protein and Water. Curiously i am thinking about real food...the tv ads are ridiculous. never realized every other commericial was for a restaurant. I have faith that this is gonna all be worth it. first preop appt tomorrow.

It will be sooo worth it, I promise. In a couple of weeks the difference will be noticeable, inches wise and lb wise. The loss tapers off slowly.I lost 14 lbs the first week and 10 the second now I lose 5 lbs a month.It's an amazing ride. Walk,sip and rest. I did have hair issues but it is leveling off and I am glad!!!! Take care!

      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.
