Introduction from a Cali cutie!



Recommended Posts

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Cherice, I was born, raised and currently live in Los Angeles. June 99 at 255 I was banded. Lost 60lbs that summer. I stayed there for a while, then all of a sudden I started to lose again and ended up 147!bs. My band slipped and had to be removed in Jan 12, my surgeon performed the sleeve at that time. Since then I have gained and am now back to 194. I do not have the restriction the band provided, have been making horrible food choices and no exercise. Life has kicked my butt, my daughters father passed and the love of my life dumped me all these in a span of three months. However I want to re submerge myself back into the wls life. I'm here to rediscover my motivation, find inspiration and also share my journey. Thank you for reading this and I hope to interact with you all more!post-64909-0-12135300-1391068366_thumb.jpg

      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.
