I'm Dani And This Is My Story



Recommended Posts

I got my surgical consult! I'll be meeting with Dr. Frank Chae in Denver, CO on the morning of Jan 8th (Elvis's birthday) which means I'll probably have surgery the first week of Feb. I am so excited!

Welcome! Awesome. Yes awesome. You are doing great in this Journey. I work 3rd shift too. And had a recent bout of insomnia as well. So I'm here with you. Sis if you don't mind me saying. I started at 267, I couldn't walk to the mailbox in front of my house without being short of breath. I watched as my then 5 year old son cry and ask to go to the park with my skinny next door neighbor. He didn't even ask me! My heart sank. But on the outside, I didn't show emotion because someone had to take him. Lol

Now 10 months later, I'm 174lbs. Yay

I out Ran my now 6 year old to the bus stop for school. Woohoo

My Blood Pressure went from 170/102 to 102/70

My love affair with my Hubby is even better

Most important I'm one with myself. The skinny girL within coming out.

      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.
