2013 November Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Today is day 1 of my 15day pre-opt and I have been easing into 5 shakes per day. Today is the day!! this is the start of my new relationship with food!!! I knew I would have to be mentally prepared' date=' however I have never had to give myself soo many peps talks lol when I start to get cravings I remind myself why I am doing this and what and who is important!!! I have six children that need a healthy mom!! I want to be able to do things with them instead of not being able to walk long distances or afraid of embarrassing them. I want to live long enough to see them grow up to be adults and have careers and families :) I've tried many diets and have been in a heck of a roller coaster ride.. I am confident this tool will be what I need to be successful and get my life back. Best wishes to everyone on my same journey and thank you for the support reading so many similar stories and knowing you are not alone is also great motivation!!! [/quote']yes mine is the 15th of November

      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.
