My Doctor's Appt



Recommended Posts

Can't share this excitement with anyone else but you guys!

Well, I went to my GP yesterday to get some nerve pills so I could handle Thanksgiving week at Hell-cat's (MIL's).

So, at the doc's office, you know how you have to weigh first? So I took of my shoes and stood on the scale (I actually wanted to strip, but figured the doc would give me more then just nerve pills). :)

I weighed 215 - actually it was 214.8, but she charted it as 215. My last visit was May 15th and I weighed 246. When the nurse told me this my mouth dropped open. I made her repeat it like 3 times.

Its one thing when you see the scale going down at home, but when you have it "officially" recorded, it has a little more impact on you.

To make the day better, I go shopping for a jacket for our trip. I go to JCPenny's and try on a 2x - cause you know the boobs are still a happening thing.

TOO BIG... so I got the 1x.

I think Im starting to realize that Im losing weight!

How great is that? I read someone's muse that it was so nice to revisit the pounds on the way down, that we so dreaded on the way up... I have to agree!

Congratulations!

Congratulations, Paula! With so many things going right for you, MIL will have her dirty work cut out for her.

How lucky most of us are to have our bands to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! (insert dancing turkey here)

      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.
