Looking for early July buddy!



Recommended Posts

Hey July peeps! Got my approval from Aetna yesterday -- I am good to go. July 6 7:30 AM! So anybody who wants to start a July support group--how do we do this? Friend each other on FB? I personally Believe I would really benefit having people to talk with Who are at the same point I am...I can be found under Katie Morgan on FB. I don't have a profile picture posted yet,?but my cover photo is a sunset on the lake. This is a separate Facebook account I use just for my weight loss journey. Thanks and good luck everyone!

Hey...we're almost having our surgery at the same time. My doctor's office just called and there was an opening for 7/6, reporting at 8:30am...this is one day earlier from my original 7/7 date. I agreed, as I had already taken the week off and I'm so sick of this liquid diet.

Hello all

Its so exciting to hear/read your stories. I was shooting for a July surgery but during the pre-tests (endoscopy) they discovered ulcers and I have H. Pylori ????

So mega treatment had to get rid of these things. (More $) and another 6 weeks of delay.

I'm very happy to stumble across this app and wish you all a successful? positive and happy journey.

Here's hoping I'm not far behind. ????

Zasha.

      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.
