February 16th is the day????



Recommended Posts

Hello all, February 16th the day I am to change my life for the better!

I am getting nervous and really starting to realize how much I miss eating food now that I'm on the pre-opt diet. I never knew I could smell everything????

The first three days of this diet was extremely difficult????????

Considering I was a yo-yo with my weight and eating habits this should be a breeze but it is a struggle ????

I need to really change my relationship with food????

I can't wait for the big day, so I think I'm so nervous about everything

Hi Matida!

I understand your feelings! I will start my preop diet Wednesday.....the day my husband is getting sleeved ????! My date is Feb 25. I am starting to realize the importance of this forum and possibly the support group that my hospital offers in getting past some potential issues. You mentioned needing to change your relationship with food - that is exactly what my husband and I are talking about.....food has been our social existence for EVER! It's time to develop other relationships and unthinkin we can all help each other with that! Best of luck to you. Keep us posted on your surgery and how you are doing!! ????????

      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.
