Tomorrow is the day????



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting on and now that it's so close I am freaking out. I just keep thinking about all my favorite foods and how much I used to eat knowing I will never eat like that again!

Those thoughts have crossed my mind as well as my date is coming up this upcoming Monday. But I try to remind myself this is what is necessary for me. Limitation is our friend and we should become besties with it. Fave foods will taste even better in moderation and I hope to appreciate them when I do occasionally partake. Also keep in mind that your tastes may change where you won't even care to eat your favorites. I kinda hope to be in that boat. Stay strong and good luck with your surgery! Please let us know how you are afterwards when you can!! ♡

You will be able to eat your favorite foods again. Just smaller amounts. And not for a few months. And if your lucky, by the time you can eat it, you won't really want it. Your taste will change and sometimes that's a good thing!

Thanks surgery went great! I am feeling so amazing and yes food is the very last thing on my brain so whooo hooo... I have been walking, sitting up at the nurses station and running my mouth lol, I did have a rough patch with gas when I first woke but It only lasted a couple hours cause they told me to walk so I know I walked about and hour out of those two and I have been keeping up walking every hour for 15-20 mins!!

It is really hard to get liquids down and I can not even think of food. I was do afraid that I was going to be starving only to discover every sip of Water is a fight!

      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.
