Still don't have this thing figured out



Recommended Posts

Hi to all my April friends.

I hope everyone is doing well. We are 1/3 of the way into the month which means we have both pre-op and post-op friends now.

I started this page to give us our little special place. I've heard people cannot access it via the mobile apps which is a bummer. I also have only invited members who are having bypass. Why if we are all in the WLS thing together? I figure the VSG folks have VSG boards and groups. I also think the journey is different in many ways for both groups. We as RNY folks deal with Vitamin and absorption issues that the VSG folks don't. We also have the dumping issue which the VSG group does not have to deal with. So it just made sense to be an RNY group.

As many of you can tell I have no idea what I'm doing with regard to the admin of this group page. I have a pre-op sub forum that I can't change. It will have post-op items in there as well. I apologize if there is any confusion.

I wish everyone the best. Bravo for making this choice. Bravo for being strong enough to change your life for the better. Bravo for being part of our new little online circle. Bravo!

Amy

      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.
