I feel like time went backwards



Recommended Posts

Ever have one of those moments? You know, where you have a flashback from a happier time in your past? Yeah? Me too! In fact, I've been having them daily since my surgery. My perspectives have gotten much better. while I'm just starting out on this lifelong journey, I can already imagine the possibilities. I don't wish I did this sooner or anything. I did this right when I was supposed to. Hell, any sooner I would have a lap band or RnY. Neither an option for me.

I envision a nice home, happy family, great career and being a great example for my children (when I do have them). Funny thing is: I've always had that vision. For as long as I can remember I've had that vision. It just seems a lot clearer now. The dream hasn't changed, but the route I thought I'd take has. I must say, everyone was right. With each passing day it does get progressively better!!

I know it's only been a few days but I feel great! I'm sure every single day isn't going to be perfect (and I still have other life obstacles) but to get one MAJOR aspect of my life under control is very satisfying.

      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.
