Recommended Posts

I'm feeling nervous and excited and ready to be on the loser's bench! You all are still saving my seat, right?!?! The liquid diet has been tough but I'm proud that I have done it and lost 11.5 lbs as of this morning :) Will be checking in as soon as I can manage it to let you all know how everything went!

Thanks Lissa!!! I am excited myself! Can't believe it is really here and my life will be changed tomorrow. I know there will be some rough times but I will keep my eye on the prize - and that prize is me! I have to be at the hospital at 730 and Mr. J has to be there at 6 so I guess our surgeries will probably be maybe 8 and 10 or something like that. I don't know how long the prep/wait is but that is my guess. Will keep you updated!

Good luck to you, and sending prayer your way. My date is the 28th. I started my liquid diet today and am a bit nervous about my success with it as the first Protein Shake of the day tasted fine, but did make me nauseous. We shall see. Can't wait to find out how you're doing. Congrats on the 11+ pounds!!!:-)

Thanks SusieQs! Sorry to hear your shake made you nauseous! I have done just ok with shakes. They don't make me nauseous but I also don't really like them at all and right now I can't imagine being able to take in a whole shake or more post op when I know how tiny the sips have to be and how long it will take. I tend to drink mine down quickly while they are really cold but I won't be able to do that after today so we'll see how it goes! Good luck with your liquid diet. It was tougher than I expected but did go quite fast. Will update you all as I can!

      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.
