Dec 10 Is My Day



Recommended Posts

Seems so far away and so close at the same time. Not looking forward to the holidays because my husbands family is Italian and everything is food oriented. AND I have chose not to tell them about the surgery which is causing a little more anxiety as well.

First off CONGRATS on your date!!! :)

I just got received mine; Nov 13th!

Other than Italian we are in the same situation with our in-laws! food is the center and I have not told them. I do not intend to tell them, but I find myself wondering what kind of freedom I would experience if I were open with everyone. hmm?

I'm African American and our holidays are over loaded with food and family. I've told my family and they are very supportive. We recently had a family cook out and I noticed there were a lot more healthy choices.

Mine is dec 3 so I am only 7 days before you!!! This board I plan on using to help me through the holidays!!! I know that it will be hard but there are so many supportive people on here!! I am not telling all my family either so. I know what you mean since people won't know. Don't stress you will do it!!!!

Ugh! My date is Nov 21, right before thanksgiving. I'm the one in my family that normally cooks the big meal. My family all knows about my surgery so they've just made other plans. I feel really sorry for my fiancé though, none of our family lives in town and he doesn't have time off. I offered to still cook for him but he feels guilty. I think our plan is to kinda avoid our friends at dinner time to avoid the torture for me. He's being very supportive but it is sad thinking about all the great flavors I'm going to miss out on., especially cranberry sauce.

Stay strong everyone and think about the jumpstart you're getting on your New Year's Resoluotion!

My date is December 10th and I am ready-I think. I think I freaked myself out from watching YouTube videos. I think I need to start working out now to try to tone as much as I can.

      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.
