Help! - Medically Supervised Weight Loss Program.



Recommended Posts

I haven't been to the introductory Seminar yet. I go May 22. But I am the kind of person, when something serious is being considered, it is RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. Some may consider it too soon to be inquiring about all this but I want to go into this with my eyes wide open!!

I am very excited to attend the Seminar. My husband is so happy that I may have a life besides just sitting around and gaining more weight. I have looked forward to retirement for so long and want to enjoy my Senior years!

I didn't have to do a 3 or 6 month diet that some insurance programs require.

To prepare for surgery I increased my Water consumption to at least 64 oz a day, weaned myself off of caffeine and carbonation and tried a variety of Protein shakes/samples.

I was on Nutrisystem for 6 months and couldn't lose 20 pounds. I lost these 20 pounds in the past 3 weeks.

Ugg...Nutrisystem. The food is HORRIBLE! Jenny Craig is better tasting but way too expensive. It is WONDERFUL that you have lost 20 pounds. WAY TO GO!!

I can easily drink 64 oz a day now. But how in the heck to you "sip" that much! Yikes. Got to be a real challenge. Luckily I am retired and not working. How can you ever do it when working!

The Doctors office sent me some info today so I could access their portal. I filled out all the paperwork they require before my initial appointment. Lots of health related questions of course but I was surprised that there wasn't a place for me to fill in things that were not required elsewhere. I guess he can ask at the visit but I thought the point of filling out forms beforehand was so he would already have ALL the info.

      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.
