January Dates

I'm taking off 2 weeks.. I'm a cosmetologist so my job is not that bad.. Yes I'm on my feet all day but I can take breaks or leave whenever because I'm my own boss kinda lucky I have that advantage.

New question...How much time are you taking off work??

Taking two weeks off. I sit on my butt all day, but I'm a social worker so stress is high. I wanted the relaxation!

Damn this pre-op liquid diet is difficult! I literally feel like I'm starving myself! Anyone else? Today is day 3.

Days 2-3 were the worst. I'm on day 8 now, and it's definitely gotten easier. Still have some times where I'm really hungry, but (most of) the cravings have gone away. It helps that I've lost 7 pounds in the past week!

I almost fell off the sofa laughing when I read this. I felt the same way, started before Christmas. Then the weight started coming off about a pound a day. Anxiety is normal especially when you look at all the risks and long term consequences under a microscope. I deal with it by simply thinking I am making the best decision for my situation with the tools available.

      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.
