Recommended Posts

OMG I can't wait till my surgery! I'm so ready to b a normal size just like everyone else in my family, to b able to sit in a restaurant chair without worrying weather it is sturdy enough to hold me or not, to fly somewhere and not b so uncomfortable because I don't want to take up room from the person beside me. I'm just so sick and tired of being the fat lady!

Gaye,

I so understand your feelings.

My whole family are "normal" size, even thin. My older sister is almost 60, I'm 58, then 55,52,50. Reason I mention theiir ages, just to say all their lives they have always been active, sports etc.

The main person in my "situation" is my mom. (I've mentioned her before) she was always so weight contious, reminding me of my weight. Like i needed to be reminded.

It is so exciting to be looking forward to having WLS. Continue to be happy - then enjoy your future journey in sleeveland.

Hi Slim,

I am getting my surgery done through Kaiser and they do not require a liquid diet. They just want us to eat a balanced diet. The day before surgery, I can eat my normal meal and nothing after 6pm. the day of the surgery I have to take milk of magnesia in the AM. Thats all! Lucky huh?

      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.
