Reality Sinking In!



Recommended Posts

Just heard that my insurane approval went through.. Contacted the Surgery Scheduling immediately ~ got my surgery date on Monday November 5, 2012. It also happens to be my oldest daughters 26th birthday.. Kind of ironic.. Since that was when I went from a size 10 up to hugh & pregnant! Although getting to a size 10 wasn't from being healthy, it was binging & purging..

So, another lifetime ago, that will be in my past & time to close some doors & open new ones! Guess I'd better start on my liquid diet tomorrow, after I eliminate the wine from my kitchen.,.,! LOL (ooh.. And the bag of m&m's in my glovebox!)

Lots of backtracking now to remember everything the dietian told me so many months ago! How to do the pre-op diet.. What's acceptable, what's not.. Researching tonight!!

Starting new tomorrow! I can already feel the increase in energy and happy mood change!

Wish me the best! Cause in 2-3 days I may regret the whole thing once I start on the liquid! (I think we like to complain! Why not be happy for sustenance and covering?)

I may regret that also in a few days, since I can talk big, right after lunch!! LOL!

SO MUCH TO LIVE AND LEARN!!

Thanks for reading!

Dawn

Starting weight: 230

In the near future... WATCH-OUT!! :-*

Thanks soo much! I couldn't be happier!,

Well, yes I could be happier, because the Surgery Scheduling called me back & said there was a cancellation for October 29, and did I want it!! I think I shouted out "yes" before she finished her sentence!

Yep! Happy Dance time! I feel thinner & more energetic already!

Thanks for the post!

      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?

      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.
