Appointment Went Well Today!



Recommended Posts

Today I had 3 appointments... one with the pyscologist, one with the dietician and one with the exercise specialist. I got clearances from the pyscologist and from the exercise specialist ...I have one more appointment with the dietician and should be all cleared to meet with the surgeon and schedule surgery. At the place I go to they make you do 4 weeks of Meal Replacement products to lose some weight pre op. So before surgery ill have to get that done. But its looking like its going to be in august now and we had thought september or october before. Im really excited to possibly have it moved up...although it seems like everytime I go in the possible month it will be happening changes. But that's ok as long as im a step closer to doing it. I went to a support group tonight which really got my motivation boosted back up. Im glad I have that option to go. I also learned that in september they are doing a walk for obesity at a local zoo and it raises money for people that cannot afford this procedure but need it done bad. So im going to be doing that. I just wanted to share with everyone how happy I am with how today went!! I can't wait to start this new life!

      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.
