Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I am so excited. I was sleeved on October 29, 2010 and since then I have been stuck in the house. You know doing the liquid diet, now on puree. Our family has the horrible habit of eating out a lot. So when they eat out, I just dont go and stay home and eat my liquids or my school paste puree LOL. But today, the Harry Potter movie came out and my husband knows how excited I get about that movie. So he took a half of day at work and came home early and suprised me with dinner and a movie date. He said I will enjoy myself. I was a little hesitant about going to the movies, you know the concession stand and all, but when I got there I got a bottle Water, and a sugar free popsicle and watched the movie. I didnt even finish the water and I was ok. We went to a mongolian bbq buffett for dinner and of course I was terrified. But they had an all you can eat Soup and salad bar. I only ate the liquid from the soup and i became full off of the smell of the bbq cooking. I ordered ice water (which I didnt drink). but I actually ate out. I was soo afraid that I couldnt do it, but it felt soo good to do it. You think at the beginning of this life changing procedure that you will never be able to do the things that you use to. Mostly because our lives revolve around food soo much, but we can do it. I know that soup was full of calories and possible carbs and of course fat, but it is nice to have a little "splurge". Just a side note, when we got home i walked 3 extra blocks for my splurge LOL! But just a note for you fellow sleevers who think life as you know it is over, get out and enjoy yourselves. you will find it fun to "find" how to keep on your diet.

      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.
