Recommended Posts

I'm 7 weeks post op and became a widow last week. I'm looking for someone who might be in a similar situation to buddy up with/ mentor. Thank you.

I can't imagine going thru the beginning of this weight loss journey alone. My deepest sympathy to you. I'm not a widow but have lost my oldest brother to Leukemia. Not the same relationship obviously but I do know how hard it is losing a loved one. Blessings to you and your family.

unfortunately i'm pretty sure there are others in your predicament :(

hopefully someone in a similar position will reach out to you

your very recent loss must feel like an open wound

even others/me who have lost a loved one - can not totally have your personal, specific sad feelings

my thoughts being sent your way

i'm sure your loving husband was very proud about your weight loss

for you and DH - continue your well deserved journey towards health, happiness and a longer life

good luck

condolences :(

      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.
