Recommended Posts

I had to do 4 months of weighing in and seeing a nurtritionist...now I'm doing a 10 week online weight management course for a total of 6 months. After this I will be ready to sch. surgery which I'm hoping will be late Jan. early Feb. :)

I'm so excited and I REALLY think this will be the perfect tool for me. I know it will be hard but well worth it! I have been over weight for 16 years now and have gained and lost the same 35# about 35 times now but I have never been able to get even close to a normal weight for my 5' nothing self. I have arthritis and some back problems, scoliosis, high colesterol, borderline blood sugar, and now recently high blood pressure so this will come just in time ! hell I'm falling apart!!! LOL

I just wanted to say HI and make my own post for a change ;)

vital info is

age 41

2 kids

5'0"

starting 205

current 200

      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.
