First appointments done, headed back Monday, tons of homework



Recommended Posts

Had my psych appoint and midlevel medical appointment today, passed with flying colors. Stated I was a perfect candidate for short track RNY. Monday I go finish all my NUT classes. No ERG needed. have more labs, chest xray and such to do also with PCP. Hubs and I have to go to group on Jan 6 and Jan 13 go back and submit to insurance. Feeling it is finally moving in the right direction!! I did loose one inch today in measurements, IN HEIGHT! Boom there went that BMI up some more, dang it getting old too! Now to get busy on all the homework and scheduling of tests in the morning, but tonight I am ready to just veg.............

Its so good you have made it this far. Seems like forever with all the testing and doctor appointments. But you will be so happy with the results. I bet you can't wait for your surgery date. My one year anniversary this week. I had almost given up, but I have now lost a lot of weight and so happy I had it done. Let me know your surgery date. Great news.

Yes I am trying not to go crazy to know when, I am assuming after Jan 13th since that is my next midlevel MD appointment and I will have all done by then. This week working on smaller bits and chewing and looking for Decaf k cups for my keurig is almost impossible when you like strong bold coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You bet I will keep posting mostly checking in minimum of daily to the recent items

If you find a strong Decaf K cup, let me know! I used to like Newman's Own decaf, but now it just seems too weak after getting used to dark roasts.

Good luck to you on your way to surgery!

      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.
