2 More Appts Left!



Recommended Posts

Hiiii everyone!!! Wife and mom of 2 year old here. 25 years old,BMI 50 AND I'M 5'6. before today I was really debating the band and rny. After my visit with the surgeon today he really put it into perspective for me and Ive finally decided for the bypass. A part of me is very terrified and the sleeve seems way to drastic. My biggest fear is the healing process (my c section was bad) I also got Bels palsy after delivery on the left side of my face. Thank God it only lasted for 2 months. I'm just scared of internal bleeding and the staples. This app is great and u all are super supportive!!! My last dietitian appt is Sep 5th then pre-op is Sept 17th!!!! I just have a huge fear of "everything coming undone inside of me" I guess it sounds crazy but I'm def ready to make the changes for a healthier me.

It's a hard decision to make, but you made it :) your fears are reasonable. Im a mom of 1 and also had a csection, but because the surgery was my choice it made it ok. Do all the research and write down all of your questions for your dr. If all else bring it here.

All the luck!

      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.
