Lets Get Everyone Yo Do A Weigh In!



Recommended Posts

First pre-surgery (seminar and scheduling) appt 228lbs

Day of surgery 205 lbs

Today 150 lbs

I had 2 months between my first appt and surgery, I did not have to do a liquid diet until the day before surgery. I had to lose between 15 and 20 lbs. I cut out all chips, I ate NO bread at home and I stopped any and all sweets. I made life changes that were not difficult. I never was a 'coke' drinker, so that was not difficult. I rode my husband's Airdyne bike 3x's a week for ten minutes per ride. Nothing was difficult, of course had I not had surgery, I'd have gained it all back plus some, I'm sure of it!!! :)

      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.
