Hi, been lurking for awhile...



Recommended Posts

Well, I guess I should start off with my stats:

Sex: Male

Age: 22

Height: 6'2

Current Weight: 370 lbs.

All Time High Weight: 460 lbs:embarassed:

Lapband: Not yet, still in the decision stage

I have a few questions, but will lurk a little more to see if my questions have already been asked and answered by others :). I know how annoying it is when a newbie comes in and asks the same thing that has been asked 1000's of times lol :).

Welcome Derick. Don't worry about asking questions that have already been asked. I'm sure we've all done it. Also, some of the members know the site so well, they'll just head you in the direction of a thread that will help you. So go ahead and ask away.

      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.
