The Flab Battle in Seattle



Recommended Posts

I was thinking how success happens more rapidly in a team environment. Lets get this group rolling and maybe in a month or so we can start planning quarterly group meet and greets and some fab Soup joint! Who's with me?

Hi, All -

Sounds like a plan. I am still pre-sleeve, but will likely have my surgery in late spring or early summer.

This would be fun but to far away. Western Washington but not in Seattle.

There are at least 3 of us Westsound/Olympic Peninsula. Perhaps if everyone gets organized to plan periodic events, members east of the sound might be willing to hop a ferry at some point. Also, I sometimes ride the Olympic Discovery Trail from Blynn to Port Angeles. Could be an opportunity to meet up at a coffee shop or something. (Although admittedly, I'm expecting to get scheduled for surgery in the next 30 days or so, so I don't imagine I'll be doing a lot of riding for a few months...)

Anyway, just some ideas.

      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.
