October 14 peeps you ready



Recommended Posts

Today is day 7 of my preop and I woke up very hungry. Next two days I have to do clear liquid and I am not sure what I can eat/drink to keep me full. But surgery day is around the corner. Good luck to all coming up and I hope everyone that has done the surgery is feeling great today. Share your tips please.

I am going on the 13th so I am really on the roller coaster emotionally. I don't do Clear Liquids until after the process . I do 1000 calories a day I've only been hungry 1 or two times. I try to keep busy to stop my mind from wandering to scary thoughts

I needed to do clear liquids for a few days post-op. I drank the Isopure clear read-to-drink fluids; the large bottles have 40g Protein. I figured if I could keep the Protein level up, I was less likely to go through a bout of losing a lot of hair.

I am about as ready as I am going to get. Cleaned out the fridge last week. Bought needed essentials. Have prepping and post op med at hand. Coerced loved one to travel 1100 miles to care for me for 5 days. Coerced others to look I'm after he leaves.

Had last nice meal with steak.

Just need to figure out how to tell the cats that mommys yummy is not a may ground any longer.

I love that my new life date will be 10/14/2014. Haha.

Let's keep up the great attitudes losers! Love to all of you.

      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.
