Last Week Of November?



Recommended Posts

I am looking for a subgroup of sleevers who are having their surgery on the last week of November. In hopes of really being able to fine tune the support as it gets closer to our dates. Anyone interested?

Hi Michi,

I just sent you an invitation to join the yahoo group.You question will be perfect for the group.

I don't have to a pre-op diet. But since I have to lose 10 pounds, I am dong one anyway. It is called the Martha's Vineyard Diet. aka 21 punds in 21 days. I am gong to do it for 10 days sarting on the 5th or 6th. That way I will be able to eat on Thanksgiving. I have bouht those lillte containers too and have quite of few of them that I used to use for Salad Dressing etc.

Anyway. Please cut and paste this post to me to the group. You will also want to do your introduction. Maybe you can catch up on the posts. Get to know the others.

Looking forward to having you aboard.

Ainslee

I am going on the 21st. I am thankful it is the day before thanksgiving so I will still be in the hospital and (hopefully) not tempted by all of the thanksgiving delights. :) my family will be able to spend most of thanksgiving with my inlaws so they won't be without.

Getting nervous and excited. :)

Hello,

I am the 30th barely made the November group! ;)

I had my surgery moved up from 12/5/12.

I like this sub-group idea.

Good luck to everyone through Thanksgiving.

I lucked out...I only have a 3 day liquid diet so I won't miss thanksgiving. But I'm not going to gorge either. This will be my first year preparing a turkey. :wacko:

Anyway, keep in touch please! I really wish everyone a safe and happy surgery day! :wub:

      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.
