New Year, New Me!



Recommended Posts

Well I had the appointment with Dr. Cobourn and he seems like a great person and a great Dr. He took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel totally at ease.

Anyway I have since made the date for the Big Day and I will be banded at the begining of February (it was the earliest he could do it).

I was just told today that my package of goodies for the surgery and the pre op has come in the mail and I can't wait to go through it and plan for the day. If I have a secret smile on my face throughout the holidays it's only cause I am imagining what I will look like and how I will feel this time next year! :)

I heard that couch is getting rather "dirty" due to the lies being told on Oprah's couch. i.e. Jennifer Aniston.

But, I'm sure that is not the couch you were talking about Mookie1 (love your picture by the way).

      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.
