Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg Omg - I Got A Date!



Recommended Posts

I am still breathless with excitement...and fear. Oct 22 I am getting sleeved! It kinda sucks that it is the day after my birthday, so clearly no food or alcohol based celebrations... but clearly, food and alcohol based celebrations are WHY I am 100lbs overweight, right?

I keep - literally - pinching myself to see if this long wait is almost over. I started the program at Kaiser Permanente in November of 2011. And now I have a date. Wow. I am almost giddy.

We share a birthday!!! I will be sleeved by then, so ni food or alcohol based celebrations for me either. Congrats on getting a date. It's exciting to know that the day after your birthday you are starting a new life. You will in a sense be reborn!

Do you have a World Market near you? They sell them there too. They are pretty good.

If you put a Protein Shake in a blender with lots of ice, can it turn into a coolata or frosty like drink? Anyone try this?

That is my favorite way to drink them.

I am having it at Holy Cross Hosp in Maryland. I have been trying various Protein Shakes and drinks on and off for the last six months, and honestly? I don't care for any of them! That two weeks is gonna be HARD!

Well hold tight because you will be drinking Protein shakes for quite a while after your surgery. Make sure you find some you like.........................

The sugar free Torani flavored syrups are life savers for me! I make a Peanut Butter banana Protein Shake with the PB2 & banana Syrup which I LOVE, yesterday I made a choc English toffee shake which was good & today a raspberry/strawberry shake with a small splash of pineapple & cherry syrups. It's fun experimenting with flavors! And I don't taste the "whey" in them :-)

      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.
