Recommended Posts

The day after nmy 29th birthday!! What a gift.... this time next year my 30th I will be sooo different. Dr. Mumford was sooo nice and explained everything. I have my Optifast and am ready to go.

This pretty lady was staring at me when I came out and stopped my mother. She was so pretty with streaked hair and dolce sunglasses on. She asked if I was her daughter my mom was like yes... and she said ( I was standing away at the desk) I was her spitting image just 2 years ago. She is a size 6 now but weighed exactly the same as me and lost 225 lbs. Here I thought she was this chick in for a boob job and was staring at me because I was fat. She said she felt a connection with me right away and told my mom I will do great and it was the best decison we could have made. She tours with Dr. Coburn as one of his most successful patients. It was a sign that she was there to let me know it is ok and the right thing to do. If Iwas not sure before, I am 100% sure now!!!!

      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.
