Hello!

I just want to put my lil story on here. I started with True Results earlier this year. I didn't feel satisfied with everything, especially when the "nutritionist" that I spoke with told me to lie on my food logs for insurance purposes. Since Dr Hollis is one of their docs, I looked into him and I like what I saw. I finally got the call on October 13th that I was approved for surgery thru my insurance!!! I was so excited. They told me to start my pre-op diet. They told me about a week later that my surgery was scheduled for November 14th. I asked them if I could have my surgery sooner as I was out of work right now for back problems, and I was hoping to go back soon. They called me the next day, and said I could have the surgery on October 24th! Wow! I diligently stuck to my diet. I lost a lot of weight before my surgery! I still continue to lose weight in such a way that it totally amazes me!

Anyways, thanks for listening to me! I can use any advise y'all have for me!

Thanks,

Audra Nurse_Otter

      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.
