Recommended Posts

I have been feeling discouraged due to me gaining my weight that i lost after starting the process. My doctor said it was because of the insulin i was just prescribed. But, its making me feel down. Cause i dont wanted to fail my surgery.

Hope you're joy comes back soon! Immediately after surgery many people are taken off diabetic medication. The weight will come off if you follow your Surgeon and Nut's guidelines. Exercise and eating healthier foods will also increase muscle and more muscle burns fat. Be hopeful. Since my surgery on 6/13 I've lost 13 lbs w/o doing a thing except following my post op diet instructions.

      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.
