Surgery tomorrow! Still wondering if I could do this myself!



Recommended Posts

Hi, I have been looking at this website since I started with the first seminar June 2013. I was so excited after the seminar, that finally I have found a way to permanently lose weight' instead of the yo-yo diet. I went thru all the hoops of my insurance and had a surgery date of Aug 14th. I went thru the 2 week all liquid diet and the night before I panicked!!! I thought could do this myself since I only had 70 pounds to lose. Wrong!!!! Almost 2 months later I am 5 lbs heavier than i started and now have a new surgery date of Oct 5th. For me after a diet its too easy to go back to eating what I was that put me here in the first place. Good Luck on what you decide!

      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.
