Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! I'm new and pre surgery but I thought I'd introduce myself. I have been overweight for pretty much all of my life the highest weight being around 320. I have 3 kids and I gained with every pregnancy and never lost the weight. So I am done having kids and I'm ready to get healthy and thin! I am done with my 6 month pcp and nutritionist appts this month spam ready to get sleeved ASAP!!

Good luck, it is hard I will tell you that. The first 2 weeks I think after surgery are the hardest. I was hungry until I found the right Protein and could actually eat Soup with noodles. I'm 2 weeks out today and each day get's better :) Just keep your chin up after you have the surgery. It is no walk in the park

      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.
