I recently went to the doctor (after being sick for like 2 months even though I had finished the prescription he gave me earlier) and it feels like both my doctor and his staff are nicer to me since they found out about my surgery. I knew my doc had a bias against heavier people (one of those oh something is wrong? Its cus youre fat! guys) but now he seems kinda proud its weird. He even lectured me after my mom called me out for not getting in enough calories since she found out i went a few days eating less than 300 calories a day (im working on it). Im only down like 40 lbs but im starting to feel the difference in the way im treated. Weird

Side note being lectured on getting more calories in was surreal! Felt like I was some anorexic chick refusing to eat or something. Lol its not that im refusing to eat its just hard to get the calories but im trying.

K weird ranting post over :)

haha This is so funny because I went to see my PA for my annual physical and in the past I may have called her some names that weren't very nice!? She was so nice to me now that I quit smoking and had surgery! She seemed very impressed with the changes...it might be a little frustrating to see a 300 plus pound smoker for breathing problems on a regular basis? lol Anyway, I am giving her another chance now and I am also feeling way better about myself! :)

      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.
