Recommended Posts

I have been researching abt this surgery since 6 months now .... I have been overweight all my life ... and gained even more after my 2 kids ...and I tried so many things but put back on when I start eating regular foods ...and I see this surgery as an opportunity to lose weight ... to become fit and have lots of energy to play with my kids ... take them to parks ... go on rides etc etc

That's great. However have you asked the following questions at http://wp.me/p4rHV9-3 for example.

No one here is trying to be nasty or anything. As skinnygirlwithin pointed out, we're not seeing a lot of information, just someone who's come on and said I have to do this within a short time frame and that's really not realistic unless they've already had all their clearances for health, etc. Trying to lose 10 pounds, you can do that by a pre op diet and your surgeon already knows that. You have to realize you are going to be working during the time of that fast and that's very few calories. Are you going to be able to do that?

You will have a hard time on a liquid diet pre op. It is hard post op. If it were easy non if is would have needed surgery. Cut calories by 500 a day, up your Water and exercise. Keep your carbs at or below 40 if you can. 10 lbs in 2 weeks is a lot.

      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.
