Stressful Day....but I Made It Through!



Recommended Posts

13 more days...today was really bad...a co-worker bought me a caramel nut candy apple (she doesnt know) and I said ahh gee thanks! and I sat it on my desk...I wanted to throw it away but I knew the kids would tell on me, so it just sat there all day....I picked it up a couple of times to play the bag but did not open it....I was going to put in the trash after school, but I was cornered by kids with pizza, asking me if I wanted some pizza a chips (they were having a afterschool party) and I politely turned them down, then I high tailed it out of the school....leaving the candy apple on my desk....

Now I'm thinking about that chocolate/caramel nut dipped candy apple, ugh....

But I am proud I did not break my liquid diet!!!

Thank you so much everyone...at one point today, while smelling everyone's memorial day leftovers, for the first time I questioned why was I putting myself through this, my insurance refuses to cover WLS even when the teacher union went to talk to the board about it...the question I was asking was, I eat sensibly, I am mobile, I can get around great, until I stood up and both of my knees grinded and creeked (still after surgery on both).....then I went out and saw a cute little baby in the cafeteria (today is election day in texas, people were voting in the school)....I want a baby (2 babies) and I dont want my knees to hurt so bad anymore....and I DON'T have control like I "proclaim" I need this...

But that damn candy apple will be making a trip to the custodian area trash can in the AM...

Again, than you everyone!!

Yea, Yea Yea!!!!! PEvette. You are really great. Carmel apples would be one of my many weaknesses and I greatly admire you being able to resist temptation. Carmel apples are only one of the reasons I am so obese. Keep up the good work. I will think about you when I start the liquid diet, because I know it is going to be really hard.

Good going PEvette! Today is day three of my preop and all I can think of since I came home from work is food lol. I ate as much lettuce as a colony of bunnies for dinner so I know I can't be hungry. Drank two Water and am feeling so tired. So keep up the good work. This is definitely a challenge. Tomorrow will be better

Yo go girl!!! PEvette, you rocked it today :) I'm so proud that you stuck to your guns, it shows me that you are going to be so successful with your surgery.

They have you started on your liquids early. We have the same date, and I don't officially start until Friday the 1st, although I'm semi starting early. We will have to connect around the 18th to check in on our progresses!!

      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.
