T-minus 2 sleeps.. If I can sleep that is..



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! My name is Shelly and I'm in Ottawa Canada. My surgery is on November 5th.. Things are getting real, quick. On that beloved Optifast 3 week liver shrinking thing so there's that joy. It isn't so bad, but looking forward to incorporating new, tasteful items as the weeks pass.

I'm confused about this app, don't know how to navigate it or pick up from where I left off or view replies to my posts. Notifications don't seem to be working. Halp.. Lol

I started my journey at 377 and not sure where I'm at today. Probably 355 or so.

Anyone close to Ottawa or close my surgery date, I'd love to follow and compare progresses and struggles.

Hope to hear from you all soon!

Shelly

      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.
