Today is the day I start my weight journey[emoji2]



Recommended Posts

Good morning all you beautiful sleevers,

Today is finally the day I have my surgery. It goes without saying that I am both nervous and excited at the same time!!! This is the day that will change my life forever. I am blessed that I have been given this opportunity and have a wonderful family support system. I wish everyone who is either considering or has done the surgery the very best!! My surgery is scheduled to take place at 7:30 this morning, although we have to be at the hospital at 5:30. (So I have roughly 2 hours to fiddle my thumbs and psych myself out prior to surgery, lol). I hope to be able to keep everyone posted as this begins my journey to a healthier new me. Wish me luck!!

      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.
