First Post -- Thank you



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

This is my first post. My name is Raine. I've been lurking and reading and reading some more. I've been approved for surgery using the tips you put out there. My surgery is scheduled for Monday 12/23 and will be an awesome Christmas present. I'm nervous, happy, freaking out and ready. I just wanted to stop by, say hello and tell each of you thank you. I'll be reaching out and asking for help as the process continues. I'm really excited about 2-14.

Best wishes. Everything was 10 times easier than I expected. I have shopped, had more fun, and laughed more since surgery 1 month ago than I have in so long...... This is so worth it. Follow your plan, just follow your plan, and don't stray from it, is my best advice! Wonderful Christmas present! Linda

Good luck, Raine! This is my first time writing too even though I've been following it for several weeks. My date is December 26 so it will be a Christmas present for me too. Hope it all goes well.

Thanks so much you guys. I'm 3 days away. There are so many people who post about their experiences and so many more like me (Molly and Betty -- hi guys) who soak up all of the information.

You're all a blessing!

I will continue to post updates and will not hesitate to ask questions. :)

      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.
