Recommended Posts

That's great that you have help

It will be a breeze for you

I had to cook, clean, do laundry etc

Take advantage of the help the first week out

Luckily I don't have sleep apnea so they cancelled my second sleep study :-)

The first one I could not sleep there at all

It was a long night

I got thru all of the appointments with taking a few half days at work

They schedule as many appointments as they can all on one day if u ask

They really put you thru a lot of testing

After all the appointments are done it's such a good feeling that you are almost there

You will be there before you know it!

I am.glad that I have some time...I am trying to get emotional ready...congrats on your success..

It is a good idea to get emotionally ready

It's not easy to change eating habits

Not having carbs has been hard

I was a big Pasta , pizza person!

Now I have to do Protein protein and more protein

That's been the most difficult thing to adjust to.

I was sleeved on 9/13/12 at Atlantic City Medical Center by Dr. Patel. I've lost 102lbs. Dr. Patel was wonderful as well as the staff at his office

      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.
