Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I've been off for awhile just going through life, thinking and attending my nutritional visits. Well my last nutritional visit was Jan. 10th. I got my approval on Jan. 22. Yaaaayyy!!! My preop is Jan. 28 and my surgery is scheduled for Feb. 19!! I'm excited, sooo excited. I start my two week liquid diet on Jan. 28. My darling Hubby went to SAMs Club and purchased everything I needed. (So sweet)

I can say that I've stayed away from any Weight Loss forums just because I needed to take time and wrap my brain around "MY" journey. I didn't want to get caught up on "well, that's not what so and so went through." I needed this to be 100% my choice based on how I'm feeling about myself.

Please make sure that this surgery or any other surgery is for YOU and no one else!

Again though I'm super excited and I promise I will be here updating regularly.

Love , peace and Blessings,

Starfish n coffee

That is wonderful to hear. I didn't read or join any forums until almost two years after I was banded so I totally understand. Awesome news!!!

      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.
