November buddies where are you?



Recommended Posts

We'll here I go! First thread post for me. I go in the morning for an EGD. Begin my 2 week liquid diet on Nov 12 and go under the knife Nov 26. Going to be hard missing the holiday celebrations gathered around food. I just have to keep telling myself that this needs to be done so I can be around longer to enjoy more holidays to come with my kids.

I'm with you...my surgery is also on Nov. 26th and I'll be starting my pre op diet on Nov. 12th. I too thought about the holidays and what I thought I would be missing but then I thought about how grateful I am to have this opportunity to change my life and thank fi for a second chance. I know it's going to be hard but I know we will all get through it together!! Good luck! Our journey is only just beginning and I know it's going to be great.

      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.
