Diet Pills Thrown At You (Pre-Op)



Recommended Posts

Kay so many many times I have asked mother if I am doing the right thing and if she has any thoughts or concerns. Always no. So at family dinner my neighbors are over. I am downstairs to avoid the pig out that ensues every week. Well my aunt comes downstairs and and starts talking about how my mother went to my neighbor (who is a pharmacist and a bit of a inconsiderate person in the way he says things) and started asking him about diet pills to try to derail me from making a huge mistake. She whips out a bag of ACE and says.. Here. I get that she was trying to be nice so I appreciate my aunt... But to know that she is going behind my back... Discussing something so personal with someone who has no idea what it is like... Makes me so mad and hurst me so deeply. Especially since I have given her every opportunity to speak up, and she is heavier than I am. Is this wrong of me? I just feel like our trust is broken. Is this wrong?

Just try to focus on the why-she's your mom she loves you and is concerned about your safety-she probably doesn't know how to have the discussion with you about the surgery even when you bring it up

      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.
