Keep this post going:) Things I am looking forward to (not food related)



Recommended Posts

Already have reached half of my goals after 3 months post op. My biggest achievement was playing on the playground with the kids (all the kids) while other parents watched from the benches and going down the sliding board :) My daughter (oldest) says "why didn't you ever do that with me?" Broke my heart but I'm doing it now and that's all that matters. I'm willing to be in front of the camera instead of behind the camera now. I can come home from work and have enough energy to roll around on the floor with the kids AND make dinner. I love this person I've become. I hugged the crap out of my surgeon on Friday!

Being able to finally live my life! There are so many things that I'm looking forward to until it's ridiculous! From being healthier to traveling to enjoying family kicking down my bucket list to even being able to go in a store and be able to wear regular sizes! Being able to do more and spend more time with my family actually doing things outside of the home actually living life with them and not just existing anymore????????????????

      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.
