I got weighed today and I found out that I gained 5 lbs from the last time I saw the nutritionist (back on 6/21/16). My last NUT weigh in is on August 18th...so I have to make this last month count. After today (7/12/16), no more caffeine, carbonated drinks and sugar.

You can do this!!! Drink lots of no calorie drinks, watch your sodium intake and do high Protein low carb.

Update:

Upping my Water intake and cutting out sugar and carbonated drinks entirely. I have a bag of Splenda that I'l be using for my tea (sparingly). My last weigh-in is a month from today, 7/18/2016 and I have to lose weight or else I'll get denied by my insurance company for lack of effort.

I won't be able to move like I mentioned previously because the landlord rented the room to someone that could pay more than I could. I'll have to buy a mini-fridge of my own and put a lock on it (since my roommate is known for eating other people's food and not replacing it). I've been constantly reminding my roommates not to offer me any food, because I won't be able to eat regular food for a long time.

In another month, I know I'll have lost at least 5+ lbs. Due to my osteoarthritis, I can only do certain exercises and I recently found workout routines via YouTube I can do from home (for those with arthritis).

Things are looking up for me :-)

Someone on here suggested doing the pre-op liquid diet for a few weeks...I'll try it and see what happens :-)

Hi

I was in a similar place but last visit got scared that they wouldn't do the surgery if I didn't lose. I suddenly realized I was just going to have to be hungry. It feels terrible but I'm using it as a reminder that I'm working toward being smaller and that's a good thing! Good luck!

Katie

      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.
