Starting My Journey



Recommended Posts

I am just starting my journey. I am ahead of the game they tell me since I have all my requirements met for the diet and exercise plan.

I go on Tuesday for all my measurements. I hope at that appointment I find out more information of what I need to do now.

I have struggled with weightloss for my whole life and hope this is what will finally help me loose the weight and keep it off.

I found out today that I have been approved by insurance e and I'm officially scheduled for surgery. Now just all the appts and more waiting.

UGH the waiting never seems to end. Oh well march 25th will be here before you know it.

Not really looking forward to a 2 week liquid diet beforehand though.

i remember hoping surgery was right around the corner lol. it will be the best decision you ever made. i too struggled with weight all my life and the sleeve was that push that really made a difference. the liquid part is rough but once you come out of it, you truely eat differently and the pounds fall off. sugar free popsicles are my best friends to this day.

You sound like me... It will change your life as long as you stick to the guidlines and rules..and remember this sleeve is just a tool to help you. You will still have to pay attention to what you eat and be active. Congrats and good luck :D

      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.
