Happy 1 year anniversary to me



Recommended Posts

It was one year ago that I had my surgery. Wow what an amazing year. I am down 117lbs. I went from a size 22 to a size 2. I play soccer 5 nights a week. In two weeks I am trying out for the police academy. My hubby and I are like newlyweds again and I LOVE going clothes shopping. I am almost off steroids and my RA is 100% better. . This was all possible because of this wonderful surgery. It has taken me through this amazing journey and I have grown so much as a person. I think I am a better wife, friend and coworker. It is really hard to get my smile off my face. I saw my surgeon Monday and he said I was doing fantastic.

If you are struggling please don't give up. Everything will get better and you will love your new life.

      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.
