November 19Th- Officially



Recommended Posts

Hi all...November 19 here as well. I've been on my pre-op since last Monday...lost 6 lbs so far. Drinking a Protein Shake in the morning and broth or Protein shake at lunch. I either eat 1/2 c of grapes as a snack or a sugar free jello; then a protein and vegetable for dinner. Excited but very nervous about the surgery, but I know I made the right decision. Everyone here in the forum have been very supportive! Thank you all!

Thanks Nickyd! Good luck to you this week as you continue your liquid diet! I cheated today for lunch and I feel awful! But I'm back on track this evening! No dinner, just a shake...pray for me!

Good luck as well to all my other sleeve sisters!

I am scheduled for the 19th as well. Ready to get started. Getting nervous too. I am so afraid that somehow it won't work and all of this will have been for nothing.

I'm the 20th, so I am right there with all of you! I can only have liquids, it is getting boring now, but the weight is falling off, 5 lbs since the 7th, so that is keeping me focused!

      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.
