Wish you all a very happy & healthy new year..

After trying every diet and losing then gaining, I finally got a green signal to get the surgery, I have been waiting for..

Here is what made surgery thought into reality :

I live in canada but for my sisters wedding, I had to visit India and for some reason, 99% of all girls are skinny to average over here and I found myself completely out of place, embarrassed and unattractive.. I really really wanted to get this surgery however due finances and my husbands complete disapproval (he is more scared of seeing me in pain and is worried about the side effects), I had to keep it in my heart... But on Christmas Day, my inlaws family doctor visited and the first thing she said was that I should get a weightloss surgery (I was happy rather then being offended lol) so after a long chat with my husband about surgery, taking time off work and him to fly back alone to India and for my to partially stay at my parents & his, he agreed..

I went to the Max hospital in Delhi on December 27 for preop consultation and after spending almost whole day there, they approved JANUARY 7 TO BE MY SURGERY DAY

Now I am using this site to gain more information, write down my journey and connect with people...

Cheers!

Thank you for connecting.. Overall I am very satisfied with the surgeon and hospital.. Only thing I am wondering is how many follow ups are needed...

I can stay back for one month follow up but that's pretty much it ...

      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.
