Surgery date

Is September 16

Hi Lucy,

I"m having surgery on the 16th as well. I'm not supposed to start my diet until the 2nd but I decided to start today. This is definitely no fun. I'm so hungry right now. :( We have to keep pushing through. It will all be worth it in the end.

Keep it up. :)

Sharon

I don't know if this is true for everyone, but I can't even finish a whole shake at once since my surgery. Those hunger pangs are gone! It's amazing. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, just hang on ;-) you can do it!!

Hey everyone, just returned from the supermarket. I bought everything I need to start my 10 day liquid diet on September 1st. For breakfast: chocolate Protein Shake with a banana (blended together). Morning snack plain yogurt. Lunch: chicken veggie Soup (blended to make it smooth). Snack: pudding. Dinner: same as lunch. Night snack pudding. That's it! I drink Water with a little bit of Crystal light. I'm happy I got my diet approved because so far I really like eating everything I'm going to have for the next 10 days. ????

Shelly 79 hang in there. It's funny when you are preparing and going thru your psych visit, nutition, and all the others in your head you know the day will eventually come but once you get the call that the date is set reality starts to set in. I think about all the thousands of dollars spent on the clothes I have in my closet that will be donated. I also think about the unknown of what my body will become as I head down this road. The surgery does not scare me. I am sure there will be some pain . Life after surgery is my worry. But when I think about the healthier side of what my life will become I smile and all the other worries go away. My clothes will be donated to the Women's shelter in Atlanta, some will go to the consignment stores where I hope to make a little money to buy the new clothes I will need and my weight center has a clothes closet where you can trade the clothes you can no longer fit for those you can. This journey is scary the fear of the unknown. What's wonderful is finding other's you can share your thoughts with , find support and support others which is what I love about this blog/site. Good luck and we'll wishes to everyone.

The book Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies has been a tremendous help to me so far.

      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.
