Surgery on 1/12/15 and looking for a buddies and a mentors!



Recommended Posts

Here's a little information about me!

(I meant a mentor, typo. Sorry)

My name is Nadia.I'm 18, I live in Pennsylvania and my surgeon is Dr Teasun Moon of Wimber,Pa. I've been overweight from early childhood to now. My starting weight was 282 and I'm now down to 265.5. I start my liquid diet on December 29! If your on a similar time frame, I'd love to talk to you and share our experiences. Some of my other interests are fashion, astrology, make up and Classic rock. I also love to read, cook and do yoga.

My only requirement for my bypass buddy is that they be committed to getting healthy. I'm doing this to live longer and be healthier but I'm also doing it in honor of my mother, she passed away in 2011 due to a heart attack related to morbid obesity. I'd also prefer someone that would like to communicate via other mediums (Facebook,Skype,text) as well as this one!

Hi Princess, My surgery is January 5th, 2015. I've been waiting to have this surgery for a very long time. I too would like to have a special buddy going thru this. I'm old enough to be your mother but I'm very young at heart. Once I get past the surgery, watch out world! I'm on Facebook, My Fitness Pal, Fitbit and have no problem texting. I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner or I would have gladly replied. I'm extremely motivated and committed to getting back to a healthier lifestyle. Let me know if you are interested! Check out my blog, too.

Hi Princess and Sassy, I had gastric on Jan.5 this year. I need all the help I can get. I would like for you to add me as a friend and buddy. Together we can do this! I also am on Facebook and MyFitnessPal. I need advice on how many calories a day I should consume, how much food at one time. I am exercising, walking. Would really like to have you as mentors and buddies

      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.
