Finally told my mom



Recommended Posts

23 days until I leave for Tijuana. I was running out of time to tell her and it was stressing me out so bad keeping it a secret. My mom is one of my best friends and I just did not want to stress her out or make her worry with the fact that I am going to Mexico for surgery. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Things went way better than I expected. She is 100% confident with my decision and where I am going because she knows me well enough to know that I have done my research. She just hates that I am going to be so far away if something was to go wrong (from one side of the state to the other). I feel so good now. I love my mom.

That is great that you were able to share this with her. I am glad she is being supportive, family support means the world. Mom is going to worry, all moms do that. My mom is 80 and I am 46 and she still worries about me all the time.

Thanks Amanda. It is a huge peace of mind. She even bought me an iPad mini for my birthday so I would have it to take with me to Mexico.

      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.
