Recommended Posts

Ok so I have about a month to get everything together before my next appointment with my surgeon. I don't have to do a 6 months diet so that's great but I do have to get myself mentally ready for what's to come. Nutrition is my main concern and I did explain that to my NUT. I want to make sure I have the tools to make my new tool work for me. I'm excite but nervous. I'm also happy I found this app. I've spent so much time reading a lot of ppl messages. I've been inspired and encouraged by everyone's journey.

I have done tons of research on all of the surgeries and this website has helped me prepare for the surgery. My date is October 25th and so glad to finally have a date.

I started by changing things a little at a time since my 1st appointment. Like going from whole milk,to 2% and now at 1% ,eating 100 % whole wheat bread (although I eat almost no bread now ),I went from country crock margarine to I can't believe it's not Butter. Caffeinated coffee, to half calf,now Decaf.

I have lost 22 lbs since June 8th, so I am doing ok. I have also lost 16 plus inches since July 30th and actually moving alot more. Just trying to get more steps in my day was avg of 300 steps a day now avg.3000 a day.

Do what works for you and you will be fine.

      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.
