Funny story I thought the Mexico sleever would fine musing



Recommended Posts

I went out to dinner tonight with my family to a Chinese Restaurant. I know not a good choice for food but It was more to be with the family than to eat. As dinner winded down,the conversation turn to my surgery. Mostly negative so I won't repeat the whole conversation. After about 30 minutes defending my decision for WLS, the waitress brought me my fortune cookie and the bill.

The fortune cookie read.....Sometimes travel to new places leads to great transformation.

32 days and counting!!!!!:whoo:

I had Chinese yesterday. Actually my wife wanted it the night before so I ate some mongolion chicken with onions over three meals, that night and two yesterday. I skipped the rice. The restaurant decided to make it super spicy. I used to love spicy foods. I am paying today. I am four and half weeks out. I probably should have waited a little longer. I am in such pain today in my stomach and throwing up all night I called in sick from work today. Just laying in bed with my computer.

Love the fortune and love chinese food too! I told my Mom that I would explaine anything about the surgery, but she can't use emotional blackmail or put down my choice of having the surgery if she ever wants me to include her in whats going on in my decisions. It has curbed her tongue and we have better conversations now.

      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.
