Recommended Posts

Ok I was ecstatic yesterday that I had my date. But today reality is setting in. I cant believe I am doing this. Dont get me wrong im not backing out and I am excited but its kind of scary.

Maybe I should window shop for clothes and a bathing suit.

I looked around on pinterest at skinny cloths and fashions and youre right it does def help.

There was a thread on visual rewards and she had two glass containers. One w marbles. One marble for every pound she loses. When she loses a pound she will put that amount of marbles in the empty jar. The picture was pretty. It kind of motivated me. I think im gonna do it!

Good luck March 19th sleevers! This was my lucky day 1 year ago and I have been one lucky lady. Starting weight was 250, day of surgery 237, and my current weight is 163. I have had 0 complications. I would say the only little problem I had was my hair did fall out a little between months 6-9 but it was my fault b/c Protein Shakes get OLD but happy to tell you it stopped and I did not go bald:-) All in all this was the best decision of my life! I would do it over again in a heartbeat! Good luck and don't be nervous! It's really not a bad recovery! I took a week off from work but could of gone back in like 3 days! I have a cushy office job though... Anyways I hope this helps ease some of your anxiety:-)

Thanks for the positive post! I hope all of us 19th'rs have the same experience. I am on day 7 of the preop diet now and while I know that I really am not truly hungry (I got over that on day 4) I really want some Mexican cheese dip and chips. I'm now in the head hunger battle. 12lbs down so far on this pre op is a nice weapon to have in the battle though...

      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.
