If you are thinking about weight-loss surgery or waiting for a date I recommend



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm just 5 days out of surgery. Feeling good and have lost 12 pounds already. It take a lot of time after surgery to eat so take the time and get prepared and relax. But what I wanted to share was I got a book from the library called "The weight loss surgery workbook" Doreen Samelson. You can buy it or get it off of Amazon, chapters ect. It was a great process to go through and walked me through lots of questions and really prepared me for surgery.

Ok, this has nothing to do with this thread.....but it is advice for any other threads you may post.

Make all of your threads happy topics, because your Avatar sets the mood straight away. Your Avatar is the happiest face I have seen on this entire forum and any attempt to start a sad or serious topic would be fruitless. :lol:

When I click on such an enthusiastic smile, I'm anticipating reading about the the things that make you so happy. :P

      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.
