New! Surgery TUESDAAAAY



Recommended Posts

Someone told me about this app and I have been so relieved to know a lot of y'all have the same concerns and thoughts that I do! It's a sense of understanding that I don't get from my fit, beautiful family and skinny friends. Among the handful of people I have told, MOST everyone I have told is very supportive... A few are not so much. It's crazy though, they are seeing it as loosing a drinking buddy or they say you are already gorgeous and you say you're happy.. but they have NO idea! I have been overweight since ten and scary enough I am comfortable within my skin and have confidence but do I feel completely confident naked NO! I want to be healthy though! I want to have a bunch of kids in the future and want to be able to keep up. I want be able to do extremely adventurous things! I have that side and try to do that stuff now... Fat girl problems! This is LONG! I get carried away! I will wrap it up! I have been having NIGHTMARES the past week about this surgery! That I forget to use the body wash and that I completely binge out and have a prisoner style last meal the morning of surgery and then tell the dr I haven't eaten and I wake up during surgery (I sleep walk so this is an actual fear of mine)! But yes, these dreams need to go! I'm nervous/excited! Tuesday will be here in no time!!!!!!

      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.
