Havent Been Here In A While........



Recommended Posts

So, I have been a little distant! why you ask? At first it was just stuff and busy-ness. I am happy to say I have my nurse assesment on monday followed by my nutrition class. I pick up my Optifast that day and start on tues. After that is one more dr's appointment and then surgery on the 26th.

I was all excited to have a pre-holiday feast this weekend, since Iwill be on Optifast through the holidays.My dad and brother may or may not be coming and I wont know until later today. The thing that stinks is that Tuesday I went to get the mail and fell and fractured my big toe in three places and my other toes were injured in the process. So now I cant do much of anything :(And its my birthday and my house is a wreck and I havent been doing much for dinners, thank goodness that my kids are happy with the easy stuff! But I just want a good dinner before I get to watch everyone else enjoy theirs! I am not questioning my decision I just know it will be hard to watch everyone eating on christmas.

Lastly, I am so stinking excited for the surgery to happen and be over with!!!!! I am ready! I am going to start a bag soon so that I can throw things in there when I think about it!!!

there is my update!! Now to start reading all the posts I have missed.

holy moly girlfriend - you are a quarter of a century "young" today - OMG

IMO you don't look a day over 24 :lol:

getting so exciting as time gets closer and closer to WLS - gotta hang in there another 3 weeks :(

it might be a "little" rough over the holidays, stupid fractured toe :angry: , family food all that stuff - but remember why you are doing this, you will be so happy :)

you will find yourself in a better place - healthier, happier - which will make "kid time" even better

take care bud

see you before surgery, so to speak!!!

      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.
