Surgery in 9 days



Recommended Posts

The scale went up today. Not really understanding this. Between the anger from feeling half starved and the scale I decided to walk the 2.25 miles to work this morning. It was cold, but I warmed up quickly. I stopped at HyV for some Isopure. I'm so close to having my BMI under 50 that I know I would be really irate if I have to pay the extra $1,000 just for a few measly points. Its supposed to be really cold the next few days, but if I go ahead and walk to work until I leave for surgery I would bet that would make the difference.

Thanx everybody. I'm seriously trying and willing to do anything at this point. I've scheduled a body wrap for next Wednesday. Maybe that will help with some of the Water weight. Even though I'm completely worn out I plan to walk to work tomorrow too. We'll see about Friday...supposed to snow.

      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.
