Recommended Posts

Wow I have just finished catching up on 10 pages of posts and all I can say is bless you all and praying for you. I have missed reading and knowing all that is going on. I am doing okay I guess. Protein still is an issue. I pretty much can eat anything. I have lost 72 lbs since December 4. I have been blessed not to have had many complications. I have recently have been experiencing a headache every time I eat. I am getting to the point to eat seems very nauseating. I have tried changing up foods, going back to the basics but it still happens. I am not sure what to do abut it. Any suggestions would be great.

I am very proud of all of the group! Gen hang in there and know a multitude of prayers are being lifted for your health to be completely restored. Prayers being said for all who are experiencing infection issues of any kind, may the antibiotics do there job and restore you back to good health.

For the new ones in the group welcome and welcome to the losers bench.

I also want to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day!

Ok so maybe it's me, but I'm finding that putting a meal together isn't fun and eating it just sucks. Say your having chicken with mashed cauliflower. Well you have to eat your Protein first and by the time you even get to the veggie it's cold and your full. Haven't even tried salads. That would make me even more mad. So it's like why bother. I'd rather eat chili. Guess I'm having a pissy day today.

I tried a Protein Bar last night. Yum! Found a great on the go alternative. I'm going to Disney in April, so these will come in handy if I'm stuck in a line for too long. Lol

      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.
