Right Place @ The Right Time.

Twice in the last week. I have had a funny encounter. I just so happened to be walking past two separate converstations. (one at work, one at wal-mart) Funny thing was, they were people who were interested in having gastric bypass and had questions, but didn't know who to talk to. I stopped and talked to both of them. The lady at wal mart is already scheduled. She was very nervous, but after I talked to her on the phone, she felt much better. The lady at work has not began the process, but she will soon. Go figure. God put us in certain places at certain times for certain reasons.

I am a field rep so I'm all over the place for work, yesterday a co worker had heard I had the surgery and really wants it. She was so sweet and more worried of asking me/offending me but I'm glad she did she had really good questions and will let me when she has her 1st appt. I felt kinda honored she asked and would open up to her struggles with me. We are placed at the right time to encourage.

When I started my job last year, my boss was in the process of getting approval. She helped me with all the paper work and I was able to preview the whole process through her experience beforehand. We ended up having surgery a little over a month apart and now we trade recipes/products. It was nice to have someone in the same boat as you at work.

It really is. I'm going to a seminar with my coworker next month. It's at the same hospital I had mine, too.

      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.
