The support is good



Recommended Posts

I love the fact that my family, friends, and coworkers have been super supportive... To the point where they have threatened to pimp me out... They took the time to learn about my surgery and kept me on track during my pre op liquid diet... I wanted bacon and they would not let me get it....I'm seating here thinking about how I kept so relaxed and never questioned my choose and it was particularly because everyone in my world from family, friends, and coworkers supported my choose not everyone agreed but they support it nevertheless.

3 and a half days left!!!!

@Idonerds I love to see this! Good for you, that support will be so helpful once you are post op!!!

I have similar support and when you have people in your corner routing you on it feels fantastic!! When I was waiting to get my 6 months done and I was wrapping my head around stuff I didn't think I would share what I was doing. But as I did I found such support I wondered why I didn't do it sooner.

I know on these boards I read sometimes how peoples immediate family members are not supportive and sometimes downright horrible, it breaks my heart. This is a HUGE journey we are on, there are ton of roller coaster emotions you will go thru, having someone to share it with to support you is awesome.

Good luck with your journey, cherish those that are supporting and loving you!! You got this girl!!! :D :) :D :)

@@Idonerds So glad to hear you have a fantastic support system! It is very encouraging. I also encourage attending bariatric support groups. I love talking and sharing with others who've had the surgery. I love talking on here, of course, but meeting so many wonderful people in person is very motivating also.

Best of luck on our surgery and keep us updated!

      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.
