Finished Week 1 Of Pre-Op Diet And Down 13Lbs!



Recommended Posts

Yay!

A rogue 24 hour stomach bug and my super busy job keeping me from thinking about food all day has played a huge part in this, but I'm still feeling good about it. I'm starting to feel like I can truly handle life post-sleeve. I'm back in control of my eating, and I can live just fine without munching on junk all the time. I still need the sleeve to help keep me on course, but I'm ready to do my part, too.

One week from today I'll be fresh out of surgery, in the hospital, and ready to continue my new found reign over poor eating habits. Ready to get back to the gym. Ready to start caring about how I look again. Ready to be a participant in my family and not just an observer anymore.

Tomorrow I pre-register at the hospital, cough up the dough (self-pay), and have my consultation with the nutritionist to talk about post-op diet. This crap is getting real!

You're doing great. The stalls are your body rearranging things with the new space it has. It will start dropping again. Congrats on your surgery date ! :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.
