tommorrow is the day



Recommended Posts

hello everyone just a note to say my surgery is for tommorrow. I have been on 2 drinks aday and one little meal for dinner. I live in ny long island. The doctor has a whole wing there for surgery lapband and bypass. I have to be at the hosptial at 11;00 surgery 12;30. I have alway thought that food was my friend, but now I know that it is not so. My friend would not make my body unhealthy, and fat, and have to took all the meds I have to take. MY friend would not let me hate myself or depressed all the time. or hide myself from other people, party, beaches, family vacation the list can go on and on. My true friend will be the true happiness I will feel about myself, motivation I will have just watching the weight come off and truly loving myself for all I did for myself We can do this. food will no longer control me not with the help of my new best friend the lapband Thanks for listening to be bye for now..as of tommorrow I will be a winner

      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.
