Support and Inspiration



Recommended Posts

Well I started this journey a few weeks ago it's consumed my life I've researched an read ridiculous amounts! Told a few close friends and family all very supportive of me which I'm very happy about instead of negative reactions! My husband also is excited for me and going to the seminar Wednesday with me. However tho I know quit a few women dealing with a lot of the same issues iam Do u mention gastric sleeve surgery to them and be inspirational and supportive in there journey or do u keep it to urself because of reactions?? I haven't blasted my news on Fb or much else where because I want people to realize the dedication n hard work I went through! What's ur thoughts??!

Welcome and best of luck with your surgery.

I am a fairly private person. I am open one-on-on with people individually, but I haven't/don't talk about my WLS on social media.

I've been pretty open despite so many ppl telling me about others who had it and gained all their weight back grrr and related negative stories. It's like really. Do you think that was the thing to share with me?? Lol I figure I rather be open bc they will see me eating different and loosing lots of weight and will ask questions so why not just tell them now but that's me idk. I also hope it will help others to change their lives too

      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.
