Recommended Posts

@RNsleever715 Feeling any better today ?

Kate

You are sweet to ask! I am having seriously serious sugar cravings. When it's seriously serious, that means it's REAL BAD. Lol! I hate this so much. I'm a carbaholic. :(

I'm BAD... I'm also on my 2 week pre-op (day 9) and I snuck an Oreo cookie that I had been thinking about for about 4 hours at 3am! I stood in front of the frig and sucked it down .... Went back to bed and hated myself! :-(

One oreo? You're doing fine, don't worry! If you had an entire pack, that's one thing. Rome wasn't built in a day, and one cookie is barely a blip on the radar.

Today, my patient's family gave me a giant box of hot, steaming cheese sticks from the pizzeria they work at. I thank them, told them I'd enjoy it at home, and then threw it at my roommate and told her to hurry up and eat it to get it out of my sight. Oh God, the temptation!

This is day 6 of my pre-op diet and I actually feel really good. First 3 days were hell, but I kept telling myself in my mind that "I am ready for this" It really is all in the mind. I went from craving Chinese food and pizza to not feeling hungry at all. I started to go to the track in the evenings after work to distract me and give me something to do. There is no turning back for me. I lost 12 pounds in just 6 days with 3 days of pre-op diet left before I'm sleeved and I am sooo ready for the other side. I know it won't be easy, but I'm ready!

      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.
