Introducing myself- October seems so far away!



Recommended Posts

Just got back from my consultation and I am so so happy to finally start this journey! I have my first nutritionist meeting tomorrow, which marks the first day of my 3 month supervised diet (I have Cigna and they require it).

While I am excited to start the process, I can't help but feel like October (when my surgery will probably be) is just sooo far away! Did anyone else have this feeling when they first started off? I am actually taking the Bar Exam in 29 days so hopefully this month will go by quickly because I'll be studying so often that I won't be able to think about it!

I've been lurking for a while reading everyone's stories so I am excited that I can join in now!

October will be here before you know it. I am hoping for surgery mid November. Good luck and I hope the time passes quickly for you :)

"Res Ipsa loquitur" - the thing speaks for itself :)

I just wanted to send you positive thoughts on the bar exam! Yay for you! It's a hard test but it is totally doable.

Tackling the bar and losing weight are two of my top goals so I can totally appreciate what you are going through and wish you the very best with both challenges.

      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.
