Veteran's Day Thank You



Recommended Posts

When I first joined BariatricPal I thought the Veteran's Forum was for military veterans. So, I skipped over the posts thinking -- isn't it great that veterans have their own forum but since I'm not one it's not for me. I did wonder was what unique problems they may have other than navigating the VA.

Now that I know what the Veterans Forum is for I still notice when military veterans post.

To all the Veteran's who have served my country (USA) and those from around the world who have served to make our world a better place --- THANK YOU!

@ Just Watch Me, you are doing great! You've broken the 200 mark. Good for you!

I'm hoping I am there before I head off to Florida the end of January. I'm 19 pounds away. I will be 2 months post-op on the 16th of this month.

I will be happy not to have to use a seatbelt extender too, used to be so embarassed. I used to dread flying because of the seating and used to have anxiety about it.

Hugs

      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.
