March Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

I have also been stocking up on sugar free foods and clear broths and the Vitamins I have to take now and after surgery. I'm taking Bariatric Fusion Vitamin chewables. They have all the requirement for post bypass people and I have to take 4 a day instead of multiple different vitamins. I also heard the same thing about gummies from my DR but my chewable vitamins are actually really good. So overall, I'm already....I've got all the stuff for my liquid diet and probably the first 2 weeks after surgery. Now I'm just re-reading my goals to make sure I have everything completed before my pre op date. Excited :) come on march 6th!!! P.s. down 22 lbs since my first visit jan 10th :)

Starting to get excited--crazy to be excited about surgery. Ready to get things going. Looking through all my stuff and getting ready to get Vitamins, broth , Protein Powder, Jello and pudding in. Know things will be rough for awhile but I can do this. Trying to get things done around the house that I have been procrastinating on--making progress there.

I'm a coupon queen so I've been stocking up for a few weeks on broth, G2, Atkins shakes, Vitamins and supplements and other shelf stable stuff I will need. I don't want to put too much away until after my nut class so I have more specifics. When I first got my date 10 weeks out it seemed like forever ! Now, as of Thursday, I'm 5 weeks out!! It's coming so fast!! So much still to do!!

I bought an amazing gadget that turns zucchini into round spaghettilike strands and other veggies can be made into flat noodle shapes. I stir it around in a non-stick pan with a little salt and leave it al dente and it is delicious. I like it better than regular Pasta and it is extremely low cal and NO carbs!!!

I got it on Amazon at this site ~http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_16?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=vegetable+noodle+maker&sprefix=vegetable+noodle%2Caps%2C281

Here is what it looks like in the pan ~

      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.
