Low BMI and 10 days to go...what have I done



Recommended Posts

I have a BMI of 29 at -age 30, I started some research 3 weeks ago, and now I have a set in stone date in 10 days in Mexico. I am scared I jumped the gun. I read posts from people saying they wish they would of done it sooner, well here I am at sooner and I don't know if I should go through with it...although family history is scary, and I've never been under a size 12..ever. I am only getting fatter.

Best thing I can tell u is not to put pressure on yourself. Know you will be fine whatever you choose to do... And the choice is still yours! If u feel u r on a roller coaster, get off, and collect yourself. Be sure of your next move.

You have ALL the power in this situation.

You will know -- yes, you will -- when and if having WLS is right for you.

I came around to a decision of yes, the fat on my eyelid that I had previously cut out with a knife, is growing back. This eyelid fat reflects high blood cholesterol levels and goes hand in hand with heart disease and an early death. Time to grow up and get serious with a long term diet of eating less. Oh and vaping, I had to quit that. :(

      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.
