On The Verge Of Mental Collapse



Recommended Posts

Well, I'm off to San Diego for a couple days before heading to TJ for my surgery.

So this was my last 'Weigh In' until I get back.

See you on the other side!

Mouse, see you there.

I was 2 weeks before the surgery on liquids as well as 3 weeks after. My daughter told me if I did the 5 weeks right, I would never have to do that again. My surgery was 11/12/12 so I was on liquids for Thanksgiving and pureed foods for Christmas. I have lost 91 pounds and my weight fluctuated day to day. I remember I was in tears in the beginning, wondering what I had done to myself and feeling sorry for myself. I went from 225.5 at my highest to 134.2 so am close to goal. You can do this, but don't stress about the scale. Was wearing 22/24 or 2x and am now wearing 12P and got into my daughter's 8P. Not sure I could sit in them though!

oh my dear I understand very clearly what your going through. I was going through Weight Loss Forever and they wanted me to spend another 2000 to have a cardiologist in the room. My BMI was 47.2 and they still wanted to charge me even when I was like 2 mths and half away from surgery... Thought that was crazy to spend close to 16000 for Dr Pompa.... My family physician thought it was scammish and she encouraged me to starve myself. Lol sounds crazy and I also started taking laxatives etc... I was beating myself up for like 3 wks and then I decided to give up on that weight loss forever agency! I found someone way way better then Dr Pompa and the ridiculous prices they where charging. I have to go on a 3 wk liquid diet before Dec 14 as that's my surgery date in Mexico! Do all that you can but I was reminded stress adds to no weight loss! You will do great let go off the scale! Hugs

      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.
