August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

I am suppose to start my two week liquid diet on July 23rd. I have not really decided what I wanted for a last meal. I love to cook so I have narrowed my choices down to Triple cheese Spinach Manicotti, Fiesta chicken Enchiladas, Creamy Zucchini Spinach Rigatoni, Lasagna or even a Chicken Fried Steak. I have alot of choices/decisions to make. HOWEVER I would give up any and all of these decisions if tomorrow was my surgery day!! I can't seem to make the clock tick faster.

Goodness, all that sounds de-lish! Have not decided on a last meal yet. We have a small pizza place in my town that rocks a club sandwich. I know that it may be a very long time before I eat bread again so I may have one of those this weekend. Next week I am starting 2 shakes a day and one mini meal of protein/veggie, NO CARBS.

Tmi, but my top 3 things are:

1) wiping my butt without trying to be a contortionist.

2) shopping in any store I want and wearing pretty clothes, and heels that don't hurt

3) just FEEL BETTER!!! Inside, out, and mentally!!

Oh man, I am SO glad to hear I'm not the only one that turns into a contortionist!

My 3 things: (there are SO many, its hard to choose just 3)

1) is mentioned above..re: bathroom cleaning...lol

2) wearing nice clothes

3) cutting my own toe nails!

      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.
