Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

November buddies where are you?



Recommended Posts

Are you feeling ready? I'm researching and shopping and arranging. It's like having another baby' date=' but without the midnight screaming and diapers (I hope). Are you looking for a surgery bud, because I could use one.[/quote']

I feel like a squirrel gathering nuts for the winter. I have been planning and shopping like a crazy person. I still don't feel like I have enough stored. My surgery is 11/19 and starting my pre-op diet today.

Its not what others think. Its about your health, your life. Believe me people will think what they want and I couldn't care less. Its all about Me, my child and my husband. If I can get healthier for them, then poo on everybody else!!

Just checked into the hospital. I am surprised how calm I am, for now anyway. Good luck to all of my fellow sleevers today! See you on the loser's side.

      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.
