3 weeks til surgery!



Recommended Posts

I can't wait. I've been overweight for 15 years and tried all sorts. The only thing that worries me is how long I'll be feeling crappy for. I have 5 girls that rely on mummy lots! But so excited to be taking steps to get back to the me I used to be!

Your surgery date will be upon you before you know it. I think feeling "crappy" is partially a state of mind. Just remember that each day gets better and better. I remember focusing on getting in all my Proteins and liquids in the beginning that feeling "crappy" just wasn't on my mind. I have to admit, my kids are teenagers so it made my healing process easier...since teenagers don't really rely on parents as much....they think they know it all...lol. I wish you all the best, I know with 5 girls, it'll be challenging.

My lot range from 18mths up to 14yrs. Lots of laundry, cleaning and running around. Have warned them that until I get onto Protein I am going to need some help. Already starting to get rid of some of my fat clothes. I am selling all my evening dresses, I won't need one again until Christmas so starting my small clothes fund now! Can't wait to shop somewhere that isn't a plus size shop!!!

      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.
