Good Morning Sleevers,

I have 2 happy notes this morning. Well first let me say I am sorry that I have not posted in awhile...I have been so busy with work and school. The 1st happy note. I have kissed the 300s good bye. I can actually weigh at the scale at the grocery store. I cried at the store when it happened. I am such a sap.....:rolleyes: The 2nd happy note is I have lost 70 pounds since my surgery on the 5/4. The weight loss has slowed down a little. But I am really happy. I am down 2 pant sizes & 3 shirts sizes. Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I think I am dreaming. I waited and worked for this surgery for so long I forget sometimes it is reality.

On another note, my husband is having surgery on 8/10/11. He is on his liquid diet now. This sure does make things easier on me. I made a big pot of chicken Soup yesterday and while he is on the liquids I bought some lean cusine dinners and yogurt for his journey so I am not cooking all the time. I thought that would make things easier. It is going to be a busy next few weeks. Getting the house back together and preparing for his big day. Since I have already had the surgery it makes it easier to prepare and make him comfortable for when he comes home. There is no guess work this time around and thanks to this forum it was not that bad. Keep our family in your prayers.

Have a great Saturday,

Connie

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
