Ready to go the distance.



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Like every overweight person we have tried everything. And each time I find the next best diet or exercise program, I am all in. This is going to be the ONE, I can see myself at the end of it thin and so proud that finally it worked for me. Each one has ended with the same result, disappointment that it didn't work, embarrassment that everyone that knew I was trying a new program will know I failed again.

It's not the plan or the exercise it's the results. I have no issues working out. Even at 300 lbs I can keep up with the fit ones, I have done 78 Burpees in a hour plus a full workout.

So surgery is my next destination. I'm excited, scared, nervous, about every emotion is there. I go to my first class tomorrow. So I am starting the process, willing to go the distance to get this done.

This site has been a inspiration so I thought I would sign up and get started with my journey.

Not sure which surgery, hoping my insurance approves me and that the surgery won't be to far away.

Would love to hear any and all suggestions you would have.

Thanks for supporting me on this and can't wait to share my story with all of you. And support all of you.

      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.
