Scheduled the start of my new life!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I have never posted before but for months now, I have been secretly sitting here reading all your wonderful stories of success that have been such an inspiration for me. I have finally taken that step and scheduled my surgery to start on my own track for success. I have scheduled my surgery for March 3. I can't wait. I am 32 years old and at my initial visit have weighed in at 304lbs, the highest of my life and cannot believe I even told anyone that but for months you all have done more for me than any others have. I feel like I know most of you, lol! The days cannot pass by fast enough and can't wait for the pounds to start coming off. I am thanking you all now for all that you have done for me. You will be hearing alot from me over the next few months, hopefully with all good news. Talk to you soon!

Good job on taking that next step. After surgery you will be amazed at the amount of weight that starts to come off, and at all the other changes that take place as well. Good luck and congrats.

      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.
