Calling January Sleever????



Recommended Posts

I was doing the same thing trying to get everything in and started to gain weight. My doctor called it "last supper syndrome." Anyhow you're not alone if they've gotta a name for it :) good luck to you and definitely keep us posted.

@@avermette Glad to know I am not alone! I have been getting a bit better at NOT making excuses to have bad meals. In fact, a comment made by our local pizza place snapped me out of giving in any more. We had called to order (again!) And someone in the back said 'they order a lot'. I was mortified. No more! I have lost 2lbs this week and have been doing well during the day with Protein drinks, string cheese and Water. At night we have a ton of veggies and a lean Protein as well. Not having a few drinks during the weekend hasn't been sucessful, though :(

I am totally loving the GNC lean chocolate shakes and am excited as I have some Syntrax nectar on the way...lemonade, iced tea and peach. I like chocolate, but am sure that eventually I will be wanting something new.

TWO MONTHS!!!!!!!!

I hope all you January sleever keep in touch because I want to make sure I have a good support group to turn to when I might be having a hard time. I've been doing test runs on my pre op and they have not been really successful so I need support alone just for that.

@@KSTUZ YES!!! Same day! I do not live far from Abington Hosp so if you want to get together and go to the gym, grab a Protein shake or better yet shop for our new cloths let ms know! ????

Awesome! Where are you? I'm in Hatboro. That would be incredible.

I go to planet fitness in warminster, I have the black card so I can bring someone everyday for $0!

Support in the area is key!! That would be so cool!!

Katie :)

@@mkw10 I will for sure keep you updated. So far, I have tried:

*GNC Total Lean chocolate (YUM) And it keeps me full longer

*Premier Protien chocolate (Also good) I don't feel as full for as long, but it has more Protein...don't know how that works?

*EAS strawberry (Eh) Tastes like strawberry Milk, didn't keep me full for as long as the other two

*Isopure Cookies and Cream (Ehhhhh) Tasted .... interesting. I mixed it with chocolate almond milk and it was better than with Water.

I should be getting the Syntrax next week in the mail, so I will post more later :)

I also got some generic Metamucil capsules as my doctor allows one per day on the preop diet. I take mine at lunch and it does help!!! I was weary because I have never taken Metamucil before and thought I would need to poo at work,but I didn't. Handy to know!

I have found that chugging some Water before the shake, then drinking the shake, the downing more water helps me with feeling full. I am also trying to kick my diet coke habit because it makes me hungry. But it is just SO....diet cokey and it's hard to kick.

We got this!

      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.
