TOMORROW IS MY DAY!



Recommended Posts

CAN'T believe it is here... I feel like I have been waiting for ever.. Hope I can do this.. I did have a Band back in 2007 and had it removed in Oct 2013.. I had lost a total of 60lbs with it. I'm hoping for 100lbs with this, and keeping it off. So tired of being the "OB" WORD...I hate when people say it.. I am a care taker for my husband in early Alzheimer's so I have to stay fit for me and him. I want to thank everyone on this board for their SUPPORT and great Ideas...I WILL SEE YOU ALL ON THE OTHER SIDE...as they say.. I do have a small cold, but i'm going anyway. It is the kind of cold that if I went to the doctor he would tell me to go home and deal with it. So i'm on Clear liquids.. and I'm forcing them down hoping to clear everything out... till 12 midnight when I stop drinking. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU ALL THIS WEEK....... Jewelj

      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.
