Recommended Posts

Shannon, you will have to let me know how it goes! When do you have to do all your lab work? Do you know yet? Don't be nervous! But, i can see why you would be. I was denied by the insurance the first time. So, I am a little scared too! We will make it to the banded side though, right??? Post after your pre-op apointment!

Congrats on the dates pugluv4life and lovelife!!

Hey everyone - all the other months have catchy names...what is our catchy name that we can add to our signature??? Last months I believe was the crazy eights. Any ideas?

Congrats Puglvr4life - I know that must be a relief! I am worried that the littlest thing will be wrong with my labs and they won't let me have it! Worry, worry, worry!

Katmeg99 - Good luck on the weight loss. Are you doing the pre-op diet as well?

      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.
