6 Months of Nutrition Classes - DONE!



Recommended Posts

I'm so happy to report that I had the last of my 6-month nutrition classes this morning! At times it felt like the longest six months. I wasn't a huge fan of the classes (mostly the other people in them). I did learn some new things along the way, which was good. Now all I have left is to get my pulmonary clearance (appointment scheduled later this month) and complete a visit with the dietitian at the surgeon's office (appointment next week). Things feel like they're finally moving along!

I had my last class this month. I am just waiting on seeing the nurse practitioner and then getting approved. My only problem is that when I went to see the pulmonary dr, I found out I have sleep apnea and having been waiting for over a month for my cpap machine

That's a long time to wait for your cpap machine. I, too, found out that I have sleep apnea. I've had my cpap machine for a few weeks now. Hopefully you will get your machine soon!!!!

      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.
