Tomorrow - And Then There Is That,...



Recommended Posts

Okay Folks,

Tomorrow is the day. I rented movies for my family thinking it would stop me from dwelling on it. So much for that idea. They are watching safehouse and I willlooking for the remote (the life remote) to fast foward the next 6-7 days. Guess that was just a movie too :)

I am excited to,...but excited to be on the other side of this and praying to god that I don't screw this up. I have the food addiction and I know I have to deal with that seperatly. I also have control issues and and tend to "test" the rules....well that got me alot of nothing,... well except fat.

So I have accepted that I will do it different after surgery. I'll make long lists of things to do socially that dont involve food. I'll accept that rules are a part of life like breathing.

This isn't going to be a piece of cake (I HATE THIS SAYING BTW) and I will be a pain with all the posts and questions and maybe venting and I bet I will whine every now and again. Please have patience with me :)

I also promise to share my experience and excitement with anyone willing to hear.

Surgery is at 10:00-I'll be the one still in the parking lot (just kidding)

On your mark get set,.....

      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.
