Got My Date! (Any Other June Sleevers?)



Recommended Posts

With my EGD on Monday, Wednesday surgery class, and Friday EKG and tests....it REALLY does feel like it going pretty fast!! I've noticed that I'm craving things, almost like it will be the last time I get to eat them cravings. Anyone else having those. Weird for me to feel like I'm going through a loss for food period.

I decided to semi start my pre-surgery diet with 1 Protein Shake for Breakfast and 2 smaller meals...I like the idea of the healthy choice as one of the meals...I'm going to have to try that. It's very exciting to have many June-sleevers to chat with!! I've started going to our local support group, but am glad that I have many of you to chat with and help with my journey!! My family is very supportive, but they are all thin and don't quite understand what I've been going through, it's nice to not feel like the oddball anymore, and that I can get support here too!! Thank you, it's making my process a lot easier!! Good luck with all of you, WE'RE going to do GREAT!!

Ive also been trying a couple of tge protien drinks, they all taste like crap. I love juice... Does anyone know of any that taste like juice or at least any that taste good?

Try Syntrax nectar. You can find it on Amazon.com. It comes in several flavors like lemonade (my fave) and fuzzy navel. unjury has an unflavored that isn't bad when mixed with other things. Also Unjury chicken Soup isn't bad either. Thought I would add that I'm waiting on a call from my surgeon for a date in June!

      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.
