Waiting Game...



Recommended Posts

First of all would like to thank everyone that posts here, the information is first rate. I am sort of new here posting wise, but have been reading the posts almost on a daily basis.

Now that the months have gone by it almost seems surreal. The closer i get to the 6 month mark the more i find myself thinking, do i really want to have this done?

I reckon i just wanted to ask how others have over come the little voice in the back of there head doubting there choices.

PS: We do say" I reckon" down here :D

Mistel, where are you from? We say reckon here to.

I too have asked myself if I want to go through this, it's kinda scary, A big life change. I am 57 years old and to change my habits will be a big deal. But in my head also I say I can do it. The drinking will be a big deal for me, I'm on 2 different allergy pills and Water pills and I get dry mouthed a lot. Hardly enough spit to swallow the food. So that will be my biggest task to cross.

Oct 15th I will have all my dr visits done! Yeah, it's getting closer and closer.

      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.
