Getting back on track



Recommended Posts

I was told about this app by another lady to help me get back on track. I had the lapband surgery in 2006, lost about 70 lbs, got pregnant surprisingly, and he moved the band. Had to have a revision and went to the sleeve. That was in 2010. I had gained about 40 lbs back and lost about another 75lbs again... however over the years and especially this last year I have put back all but 20 plus pounds of my original max weight. I still can't eat a lot but am eating all the wrong things. So this week starts me back over. Going back to the base diet requirements for getting ready for the surgery to psych myself mentally and physically back into gear. Lots of prayers and wishes and if anyone wants to help bust me to get on track... I would appreciate it.

      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.
