My Kingdom For a Dorito



Recommended Posts

i had my surgery on July 16th Like everyone else i was really nervous I got in the OR and started to cry. i gave myself the moment, then i took a deep breath, put on my big girl panties - or rather took off my big girl panties, said a prayer and took the best step i could to getting healthy, The day of the surgery in recovery was needless to say, pretty bad, but I had an amazaing medical team and they got me through, The next morning i woke up craving for a dorito. It was the weirdest thing - all I could think about was sucking on a dorito. In my mind mind I could see it and i knew the only way to get it down would be to suck on it until it dissolved. The funny thing is I didn't really even eat dritos - often. . I believe it's this dorito or thought of it thats is helping me deal with all of the cooking that has been going on in my house since I have been home. I could wrong but i dont think so.

I wantd to share this story because i have been encouraged by so many of your posts, and realizing I'm not alone in this has been amazing. So if there is someone who thinks that amybe wht they are thinking or feeling is weird.........you're not alone!

I swear I almost wrestled my 2 year old for a quesadilla when I was a couple weeks out. I'm now close to 7 months out and down 110 pounds! Best decision of my life! Stay strong! You'll be so glad you did! Good luck!

      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.
