Article in Man Repeller Magazine (Mentions Bariatric Pal too!)



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone!

Hope you had a fantastic holiday and new year! I've been away for a while and just found a message in my inbox today about an interview that I did for Man Repeller magazine. I think she did a great job researching and writing this article and wanted to share it with you all. She also gives BariatricPal a shoutout. :)

I think the other two people in the story may also be from BariatricPal as well, so congrats on your "'press" coverage. lol

Happy New Year, everyone!

I agree. I think she did a really great job presenting weight loss surgery in well-researched and realistic light. I wish she had talked a little more about the long-term successes of it (in my case in particular, I'm nine years out in March and I've kept nearly all of my weight off), but I was still happy with the overall tone of the article.

Congrats on the coverage! I think the article did a pretty decent job discussing the complexities of Weight Loss Surgery. I agree that she could have talked a little more about long term success but from all the articles I've read from non-bariatric patients, this wasn't too bad at all.

      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.
