Low BMI Sleever's for July 2015



Recommended Posts

My Surgery is scheduled for July 2nd, My Pre-Op is Scheduled for July 1st. No diet before hand.. My starting Weight is 180 at 5'4, My goal is 125-135.. I have DM and Hypertension. So excited to start this journey. I have been keeping this to my self other than my husband and my mother but no one else knows. Because as low bmi'ers know when I went to get all my pre testing done I got crazy and mean comments from others. I say their just jealous why does any one care what I do to my body anyway. I don't have a problem with Sweats really I love my pastas and Soda. LOL I'm drinking as much now as I can. I will stop 3 days before hand so I wont have a splitting headache after surgery. But I'm looking forward to this life style change and ready to embrace what's a head. Anyone else want to keep in touch and share experiences with me?

I'm hoping to be an August low BMI surgery! 5'1", 190 lbs. I used to be a runner, so I have a lot of friends who still run & bike, and there have recently been several people bragging about not needing "gimmicks like shakes or surgery" to lose weight. I haven't said anything except to one close friend, who then said, "You're fat, but not THAT fat, and you just need to start exercising again. RUDE!! She is well aware that my degenerating hip is keeping me away from exercising. Anyways, I'm hoping for approval with comorbidities if the hip, hyperlipemia, and mild sleep apnea. I should know next week.

      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.
