Recommended Posts

Surgery is August 8th for me! Some NSV I'm looking forward to in the future.....

Being able to cross my legs again, and sit like a lady!!

Have my husband put his arms around me and not feel awful about him feeling all my fat rolls!

Going to my daughters practices and not being the largest person there!!

Having my daughters hug me and being able to for their arms around mommy!

Being able to buy clothes in the regular size dept! (I love Targets cute clothes, and I look forward to the day I don't have to shop in their 4'x4' plus size section)

I could go on and on........

Have a wonderful day!

my surgery is in 7 days, but i am looking at my list of goals to help me stay focused on this liquid diet. I am starting now and actually I dont really know how bad it will be. I just anticipate it being horrible.

I was so excited about not shopping in the plus section, only to find out I don't know how to buy clothes that aren't plus size, I keep ending up back in the plus sizes knowing I can fit them...

I had very similar goals in mind when I had my surgery and I will tell you that as I have met most of them already, it is such a wonderful high feeling when these things happen. Now I find myself staring at my fingers, ankles, or wrists and thinking wow I have normal body parts for the first time in as long as I can remember.

      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.
