August Surgery List complete



Recommended Posts

I did eat a little too much at my In laws. I checked the scale this morning and did not gain an ounce. Last year I would have eaten enough to gain 5 pounds. Back to the plan folks. We can not be too hard on ourselves. This holiday is over. Now its back to plan. Keep up the good work.

That is 100lbs loss since August 2012 and since surgery I think about 66lbs (day of surgery I weighed 302lbs) hope everyone doing good. Aunt Flo decided to show up today and I'm dying, I been feelin really bad the last week wasn't sure why but thinkin it's cause she was gna visit! Anyways hope all you's doing good! Here's some comparison pics I'm sure you can see the difference all black is day of surgery and the one of pink top is comparing them together :-)

Ty.

No everyone thinks that the surgery is the easy way out, n it truely is not. Its hard to no Wat ppl meant wen they said its a tool, that's exactly Wat it is. I did think it was going to be easier than Wat it is, but I couldn't have lost this much w/o the surgery. I'm glad I did 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.
