Tomorrow is the day ...



Recommended Posts

I'm still waiting for the call telling me what time my surgery is, but regardless .... tomorrow is the day. I'm SUPER excited!

As of just a few minutes ago, I now weigh 237.4 pounds, I'm seeing SEVERAL NS wins, and I'm hopeful for the future. I know that this will continue to be a difficult walk as I get used to what my new parameters will be, but I have hopes that it will get easier as time goes by.

Congratulations on your big day. Take plenty of selfie pictures today as down the road they will be a great motivator and reminder to your future self of how far you've come. I would even suggest writing yourself a letter today only to be read much later into the journey. I have plenty of pictures but wish I had written a letter to myself.

Good Luck, You'll do great!

      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.
