New friend at WM walmart



Recommended Posts

So I attempted Walmart today. I really just wanted to get out of the house.

It's only been what 5 days so I have this tendency to hold my stomach w my hand when i walk on that one incision that your stomach came out of.

Anyway... As I'm shopping, I notice another lady holding her stomach in the same way.

We kinda caught each others glances and she says have u had surgery?

I laughed and said yes and u?

She says yes I had the sleeve...

I was like me too!!!

How funny... We exchanged stories and I told her about this app.

Hope she was able to find it.

So Lizzie let me know if u did...

And good luck

      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.
