Unique Opportunity to Have Your Story Published!

Are you eager to have your gastric bypass story published in a book? This is your chance! We are working on a book on the Roux-en-Y journey. The book will be a companion to the one we just released! It’s “Vitamins.” She also learned to make sure to take them – she faced fatigue and sickness when she got Vitamin B-12 deficiency following surgery! She also says that your shoes and rings get to be too big, and Water is precious. We know that cshort83 is going to continue to learn as she continues on her path to her goal weight, and we’re grateful to her for sharing her story with us. Thanks, cshort83, for being in the Member Spotlight!

If you know anyone whom you want to see featured in our member spotlight, please let us know in the Protein first at each meal.

  • Get back in the habit of measuring your portions instead of estimating.

  • Drink a glass of water each morning two hours after you eat Breakfast.< p>

  • Taking your dietary supplements at the same time(s) each day so you don’t forget.

  • How did you complete the challenge? Let us know in the food records or smaller body measurements as signs of progress even when you don’t hit a weekly weight loss goal.

    The scale should be your friend on this journey. It’s a source of positive feedback for healthy eating and other good choices, and it can be a gentle reminder to get back on track if you slip up. These simple tips can help you get the most out of the scale. Do you have any others? Let us know in the Newsletter Forum!

    Tip for the Forums: Finding a Niche!

    The forums can be daunting if you’re a newbie, or even if you’ve been around for a while. We suggest starting by introducing yourself if you haven’t already. Then, check out the forums that are most useful to you – if you’re pre-surgery or post-op, you might like the pre-surgery Q&A forums or post-surgery ones. Everyone can benefit from knowing more about the post-op diet, and that’s a popular board for our member! Don’t forget the special group forums if you want to hang out with slightly smaller groups of members with common interests. Don’t be shy! If you’re not sure where to go, just post your question anywhere. Someone is sure to direct you to the best place.

    That’s about it for this week’s newsletter. We hope you enjoyed reading it and are ready to come discuss it and everything else on the boards! You can always check out the archived newsletters at the Newsletter Forum, too. Thanks for being part of our community!

    Until next time, take care of yourself and each other,

    Alex.

        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.
