Recommended Posts

Hi my ppl im having surgery tomorrow.. Yeeeeyyy after 2 years of appointments and ups and downs finally the day is coming tomorrow at 8am im very nervous..excited.. Im feeling all kinds of emotions.. And praying to God that everything is going to be fine :) I was 298 when I first started seen a doctor for surgery..but then has time pass i was so anxious about getting a date for surgery that i just kept on eating and eating i was depressed about some things in my life and about being so overweitgh and i was taking my anger and sadness on the food.. So i went up to 334 pounds being my highest weigth ever I was so sad when i saw those numbers on the scale..The surgeon told me if i dont go under 320 before surgery he was not doing it for me :( Then the sphyquiatric didnt clear me.. So thats depressed me more than i was :( they send me to take counseling for 6 months.. and i look at my children im a mother of 4 girls and 1 boy and i said to myself i need to do something or ill not last long.. my high blood pressure when higher then ever.. So i put my self on a diet cero junk food cero rice..bread and Pasta or sweets.. I started eating lots of green veggies..tuna and chicken breast :) and i lost 30 pounds in 6 weeks wow i couldnt believe it.. But then i gain back some weigth because i started eating rice and bread.. I love rice.. But it was not good for the diet. Well now i went back to the diet on August 13.. And on Sept 21 I started the liquid diet i only have to be on it for 5 days. Well today is my last day thanks God :) and im on 312 pounds :) All ready for tomorrow.

      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.
