October Sleevers - Who else



Recommended Posts

yes. I've been on a modified Optifast diet since last Thursday. I start a 2 wk optifast only diet on the 10th. I've lost 8 lbs since last Thursday. What about you?

Get it girl! I have been on a reduced calorie diet since the 30th, but won't be starting my Clear Liquids until a week before, or 10/17.

I find what works for me to keep my mind off of not actually eating is to keep busy. All the things I've procrastinated from doing are being checked off one by one.

So I just hung up with my surgeons scheduler..because I have to have a double surgery they are now looking to move me to another date other than 10/23. :-( maybe later...I just cannot even think about waiting one more day longer after all I've been through. The surgeon removing the cystic mass is the problem..but it has to come out it's causing too much pain and issues. *deep sigh

I'm so irritated. But I'm trusting God to handle this. My Bariatric surgeon is on my side she's not wanting to change it, and she says there's no way she's doing it 11/27 THE DAY BEFORE Thanksgiving like they wanted. The thing is there would be a skeletal staff there because if the holidays...No friggin way am I doing that.

Anywho, sorry I needed to vent...praying somehow this works out in my favor.

      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.
