Getting Nervous Yet?



Recommended Posts

I still can't believe I signed up for this. It hasn't quite hit me that it's real. I'm very nervous about the whole thing, but it's still far enough away to not be worried. I think when I start the Protein Shake diet for my two-week countdown, THEN I'll really start to feel it.

Yep...nervous! I was having nightmares but now before I go to sleep I think about what I will feel like once I've lost the weight. Sounds hokey (sp?) but it works.

I'm really nervous. I've had surgery before and I suck coming out of anesthesia. I have to remember that it will be alright and the long term outcome is so totally worth the few days of pain and the few weeks of food restriction. I'm now 5 minutes away from 8 days to go.

      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.
