Looking for April 15-16-17 people



Recommended Posts

I hate the meds too! Absolutely a perfectionist but with everything except my health. I was always the girl that was big but active. I ran circles around my skinny friends, it made no sense to me. Then with PCOS and insulin resistance, it makes more sense. The meds suck, but I have been in really tight control of my blood glucose levels for awhile now. I am tired of depending on medication to be functional, I am ready to move on from that part of my life. All of the nervousness is overshadowed with excitement.

Hey Ladies I'm on April 15th as well, very over whelmed and excited. Been on a liquid pre op diet for two weeks and that has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. I'm here for support and also would love to get it and keep up with everyone that is going through the same thing as me! :)

SIX MORE DAYS

I am anxious every day!!

My liver reduction diet is going well.... it is hard to get 64oz of Water in. Some days I do, and some days I am getting in 50 though.

My liver diet is very simple (too simple) and it allows for 2oz of lean meat - in which I fail and have been eating 4 at times!!! 4 is still low, and it is mostly protien. But starting today, I am curbing that. I have not deviated in any other way and am still losing. I am down about 34 lbs since Superbowl (about 8.5 wks).

I have made a list of all the things i want to bring to surgery (cell phone, charger, chapstick, brush, backscratcher...stuff like that) and I will be scrubbing the hell out of the house this week so that I wont need to clean for a bit once I am home.

I AM scared though....very scared. I think constantly about potential complications (mostly adhesions and things that are out of anyone's control). I know people who have had bad complications and now that I know so much about WLS, I can attrubute many of their complications to things they did wrong or defied their doctors. I wont be doing things wrong.

      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.
