My new life after Surgery!



Recommended Posts

Hello, My name is NaNoska but everyone calls me NoNo. This is my very first post here and I am really excited! Almost all my life, I have been overweight and I tried everything under the sun to lose weight but was unable to do so. And so on March 25, 2013 is the day that forever changed my life. Before surgery I weighed at 236lbs and as of today I am at 190! I have lost 46lbs and 6 inches from sizes 22 to 16. I thanked God for giving me a second chance at life and health. I also want to thank my family and friends for their unconditional love and support throughout my journey. And last but not least, to my wonderful surgeon Dr. Michael Bono and staff of Hazelton General for doing such a fantatic job both pre and post op, they were amazing! I can't wait to read some more amazing stories from everyone on here!!!

It definitely will be faster than slower in the beginning. But will slow down. Enjoy it.

      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.
