Hello all and update!



Recommended Posts

Hope everyone is well! I am on my pre-op diet and doing well. It is not as hard as I thought it was gonna be, the shakes that have been provided to me and the Soups are quite nice and I am able to eat lots of fruit and veg so thts ok. I have lost 7lbs since wednesday!!

My operation is on the 25th in Manchester and I can't wait, I am nervous and excited at the same time!

I live in Dorset (Poole) and don't know anyone from around here that has had this done so if anyone can reccommend a support group near here that would be great.

I am starting to get things ready for next week, so fingers crossed!

Hope all of you are doing well on your journeys and I can't wait to join you in bandland!!!

      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.
