HI I'm up at Tallering Peak for Mt Gibson Mining, I agree you do put on alot of weight with all the food being offered Brekky, lunch and Dinner!!

I was on Optifast shakes (liquid only) for the 3 weeks leading up to the surgery. I took 6 weeks off work as I do heavy lifting in my job, I stayed on the shakes for the 4 weeks after the op.I went back to site with a box of shakes and just ate milky weetbix for beakky and lunch was tinned or soft fruit and yoghurt and dinner was whatever soft food they had. I went and spoke to the site catering people and they were only too pleased to provide the sort of food I had to eat. I'm sure that it being argyle they will most definatley be able to provide you with "special meals".

Good Luck!!!!

HI

Any more mining people here?? I'm off to see Dr Couch in the morning, maybe for another fill. Should take me to 6mls?? I should know exactly how much liquid I have but at the moment it escapes me!

I got weighed in 2 weeks ago and have lost another 6kgs in the 4 week period!! (117.8-96.4kgs) Even better, I went into myer and brought my first outfit from the normal size section, god what a great feeling it was in the changing rooms :))

I have found that I can't stomach anything untill around 11am other wise it just come up. My hunger has pretty much gone there are even a few times that I have to remind myself to have something to eat.

Good luck to those who are heading into the operating theature soon, remember to relax and just think that it will all be for the better!

Jodie

      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.
