Introducing myself!

What's up everybody! I'm Antoinette. I was sleeved on August 19th. I'm recovering well but these staples are annoying the hell outta me. I just came here for support and motivation on my journey. I've been going through a lot in my personal life and could use some positivity. :-) I live in the Dallas area and I'm 29.

How did I miss your post you are the first person that have seen that had their surgery the same day as me. It's 13 days postop for us. How are you feeling? I am great, well I was until I started having this gas pain. Actually I was thrown off, because I didn't know what this was. It feels like contractions or something they way they come and go. I have some gas x at home (what good does that do for me?), so i will be making a quick stop to get some relief.

Yes! I have learned that you can eat, but just not as much as you use to. So it's important to go through the process if you want success on this journey ????

Hello Antoinette,

Congrats on finishing the first page of your chapter lol..

I can't wait to be in the other side of this long journey of going to doctors appointments, meeting with a psychologist, and attending nutritionist appointments....

Now, I am at the phase of submitting documents to the insurance company for approved.

My day will come in the future, but for now. I will like to send you best wishes on you weight loss journey!!!

      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.
