Recommended Posts

Hi!! My surgery is May 13. I'm still smoking and surgeon won't do surgery if I'm still smoking! I've tried to quit. I'm so disgusted with myself! They will test for the chemical that remains in your system after smoking. I need help!! :( it's hard to be excited when I'm scared that I can't quit!!

I can't speak from personal experience but is it possible to cut one or two out everyday until you're off completely. I'll pray you'll be able to quit.
I thought about one more thing. I used to drink alcohol a lot that it became an addiction. I just went cold turkey because my husband asked me to. Is there someone that you can be a reason you'll quit?

Congrats and good luck on your journey ????

I'm scheduled for May 27th and my doc wants me to lose 10 to 15 before surgery. I started my Pre-op diet yesterday and then Clear Liquids 3 days before surgery. Here we go! Is it May yet?!

I have to go four weeks and then the day before nothing but clear liquids. That might be tough, but I hope by then it'll be easy. Congratulations on your date!

Thanks! I'm hoping the 3 days of clear liquids won't be too bad. When is your date?

      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.
