Frustrated before surgery



Recommended Posts

How did you gain? Did your diet change?

Start recording every single thing you eat in MyFitnessPal.com. If it goes in your mouth, record it. Try to limit your calories. 1500 might be a good pre-op goal.

The accountability that recording what I eat provides has been the most important factor in my weight loss, behind surgery.

When I started my 6 month program that is required by my insurance I would go month to month just trying to wing it. Hoping I'd done enough in between appointments to lose some weight. I started to make little changes. I wasn't losing much (obviously) so I thought I'd try 2 Protein shakes a day plus a balanced dinner. That was around month 4 and everything just clicked. Things are still moving slow weight wise unfortunately but at least now I feel I am in the right mindset and really ready for this change. The dietician did mention that the surgeon wants to see a 10-15 pound loss pre op before he'll set a date which scares me that my surgery will be delayed because I'm in my 6th month and I've only lost 4 pounds (no gain but still...) so January 13 is my last weigh in and I'm just going to try my hardest these next 2 weeks to try to get as close to the 10 pound mark as possible, so 6 more pounds. Finger crossed!!

      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?

      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.
