Recommended Posts

We are getting sleeved on the same date!! I have an almost 4 year old, do you worry about your baby wanting you to pick her/him up? I don't believe we can lift over 10 pounds for at least 4-6 weeks. My big boy still likes for me to pick him up. I thought about going to Mexico, but found Dr. Borland that is pretty close to my home. Have you purchased anything for when you return home? I need to make a list, but it should be straight forward for the first week home - broth , broth and more broth.. Let's stay in touch!!

I don't know why I'm not too worried about the surgery part, lol. Maybe I should be. I've read people heading back to the gym in 3-4 weeks. I go to Boot Camp every morning at 5am, and intend to get back in there as soon as I can. My little girl luckily, doesn't like to be held in Mom's arms...only Dad's, so that's ok! lol Occasionally, when I have to, Dad will step in to help. I've purchased the Vitaleph Bariatric Pre-Op Diet Kit which I will start on next Tuesday. And I ordered some Soups off of this site! I'm gonna stock up on G2 Gatorade, coconut waters, and make my own chicken and beef broths. I'm only taking 4 days off from work, as I have a desk job and don't need to be too mobile at all.

      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.
