New To This Amazing Group!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I am new to this group. My husband and I started this process back in March and we are going for our last nutrition visit tomorrow. It's been a long 7 months with the many different dr apt's but its worth it as this opportunity is going to change both of our lives.

Thank you for the welcome. We are excited & nervous at the same time. I am glad that we are going thru this together. After 4 kids and the constant yo yo of dieting we are ready to make changes for our new start on life. I read a lot of the posts on here and am touched by the support everyone offers each other. When we go for our last nutrition visit tomorrow we will be scheduling our pre-op visit. I can't believe we are finally at this point. Good luck to all of you and thank you for sharing your stories. :-)

PaulB is right! This is a great place and everyone is very helpful. It has been a blessing for me. I have never had surgery and being able to ask questions and read what others have openly posted has been a blessing. Good luck to both of you!

      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.
