New to Bariatric Pal &want to share my story.



Recommended Posts

I am new to Bariatric Pal But have been doing a lot of writing about my weight loss journey on my own web site I am working on. I am writing it in memory of my mother who also suffered with morbid obesity and the health issues that go along with it. I hope to offer others who have had any weight loss surgery or those considering it ....Information and Inspiration! I very much need others to share their weight loss story as well. On the before and after page of my site . I had laparoscopic RNY gastric bypass over 3 years ago and quickly lost all the weight I needed to loose. So far I have had no real problems and am living a much happier, healthier life. I am so glad I finally decided to have gastric bypass. I feel it was the best choice for me. It wasn't an easy decision but one I wish I had made years sooner. I wish everyone great success on their weight loss journey.

Congrats I am on 5 weeks out but I'm feeling great I don't have much to add right now with the exception I'm off all of my diabetic medications. I look forward to your post.

      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.
