Got a date 2/23, can't wait



Recommended Posts

Finishing my 18 requires health classes, got through almost all my dr visits, need psych and Endoscopy, but getting excited. My dr wants 3 weeks liver shrink, I'll get details in Jan on diet. But with just the classes so far, I'm 15 lbs down.

Nervous about after and hoping my post op vision for myself is realistic. Started at 368, down to 353, goal is somewhere about 200.

What I am most looking forward to is being able to be active and move again. I want to do Spartan runs and Ragnar runs, I hope that is realistic. Here's to hope!

2/23 seems so far away, and I guess I'm focusing on the food right now, thinking things like "this will be my last big thanksgiving, or last big birthday dinner." I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, and if I could move my date to tomorrow I would. I hope these 3 months fly by. Very excited to see what's on the other end of this journey.

      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.
