A week into lower food intake.



Recommended Posts

Well a week ago I started my diet. I'm not specifically on an all liquid diet, but I try to have more Soups and things. I started at 428 and today I weighed at 411. I've had a few slip ups, but I expect in 2 weeks I will be ready for more structure. Tomorrow morning I go for my Upper GI x ray. I'm nervous, but it's the last test I need. I go back to my surgeon on January 13th the likely schedule a surgery date. My blood work is in and I need to lose at least 13 more lbs or more before the surgeon would approve it. Yesterday I had a real slump with my emotions. I'm trying hard to stop my eating going with my emotions. Not easy. How are you guys doing?

I'm not seeing anyone yet but I will be soon. I'm also really fortunate to have an incredibly supportive roommate I can talk to about all of it and she is so helpful. She helped me get through yesterday and not go completely off track. My friends have also been super supportive 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.
