OMG reality is setting in



Recommended Posts

Omg, I can't believe this is finally gonna happen!! I've been waiting for this for 7 yrs. Finally everything is kinda magically falling together. Unexpected funds showed up, 2 different times, and happens to equal almost the exact amount that I needed for surgery. I guess maybe it's true that what's meant to be will happen in it's own sweet slow time lol. I am alternating between extreme joy and excitement, to actual terror. But I am so ready to be a Sleever!!! 5/16 can't get here soon enough!!!

:hippie:

Hang in there. I will be sleeved on June 6th tentatively and have the same feelings. I will be so glad to be on the other side of surgery. I have my last PCP weight loss visit (#6) on 5/2/2011. Everything else is done. We all have to stick together to encourage and support each other. Thanks for posting.

So happy for you that everything is falling into place. God will make a way. He hears our prayers and knows the desires of our heart.

      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.
