Hey July Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Just got my date this morning - July 10th with Dr. Heydari in Illinois. I'm so excited!!

My pre-op diet is for 10 days - 5 Carnation Breakfast Essentials shakes, unlimited sugar-free Clear liquids, and up to 200 cal/day of fruits/veg. The Carnation shakes are pretty good compared to other Protein shakes I've tried in the past.

Got my passport photo today. Maybe it's the last fat pic I will have to take

Omgoodness, Robin... just ran across your post again and it made me think about my passport photo that I just took this week. Bad. And I mean BAD. Hopefully it *is* the last fat pic we have to take! She even took it TWICE to try and help me out. Poor lady. But soon, SOON, we will be on the other side, girl! :)

Hi everyone, I thought I might make a list with everyone's dates next to their names to post here so we can keep track of who is doing what, and when, as we try to support each other. If you have a surgery date and you're happy to be included in the list- please PM me and I'll sort one out and post it here in a little while. I'm sure i can keep updating it too :)

      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.
