Recommended Posts

OMG! My surgery is tomorrow morning! I am so very excited to get this show on the road! I'm having the normal "day before" fears, but I think I'm good to go. I've been blessed with such a great support team to be me this far. ;)

Thanks! I will post as soon as I'm coherent enough to. Ha!

I'm willing to push through some pain and discomfort for a second chance at getting this right. I grew up skinny and fit. I didn't gain my weight until I had my daughter. I gained a little weight and thought I was doomed. I just kind of gave up. If only I would have changed my mindset at that point, and worked out and ate better, I wouldn't be here where I'm at today. I'm just grateful to have a chance to get back there and do it right this time.

      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.
