My personal blog (hopefully this is allowed)



Recommended Posts

I started a blog about 4 years ago, and I have decided to utilize it to keep track of my surgery journey. Hopefully the forums don't frown upon this. If it's a no no, I will remove the link. This isn't a ploy for any monetary gain, just wanted to share my thoughts with the group.

I would love to get some opinions or meet other bloggers and sleevers. Support will definitely be needed as I get closer to the surgery date.

My blog can be found at http://www.bigfatloserblog.com

I look forward to seeing your opinions here.

Welcome to the forum. I don't think you will have any issues putting up your link. But you might consider creating a blog on this forum and copying your stuff in both places, that way, the people on this forum that follow you will be notified of a new post.

Thanks for the help and advice.

If you are talking about my website, I can do either. I haven't tried to make a blog entry on this website from my phone but I see no reason why it wouldn't work

      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.
