Recommended Posts

Im 25 married and have Four beautiful daughters. I have been overweight all my life I think my first diet was around d age of 9.It consisted of drinking lemon juice every morning I ended up getting sick I did lose some wait but it wasn't worth it. Anyway frm there I did diet after diet n lost n gained weight. Current weight is 324 my highest weight was 336. I am dedicated full-time to my hubby and kids and I love them and Im happy about that but Im not happy with myself there's lots of things I'd like to do but I cant because of my weight. I decided its time to dedicate some time to myself. Ive been doing alot of research and I decided gastric bypass was a good decision. I was on a six month wait and finally submitted a request on wensday Nov. 21 Im waiting for an answer but its very hard and frustrating. I pray that God gives me this opportunity. Well hello to all andtht was my short intro.

      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.
