Feeling discouraged.. was told sleeve is useless for lower BMIS



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to update you all. that it was just a stall that ended a week or so after i posted this and most likely due to my low Water intake. my friends and i have patched things up. changes may sometimes bring out the worst in your friends but rifts are what friendships are made up. thank you all!

NEVER listen to a discouraging word!! I'm not even kidding. First, a stall is not a stop. It's your body adjusting to what we are doing to it. Keep at your protocols. Get in your Protein, your Water and your exercise. If you follow the guidelines this will work. Don't listen to naysayers at ALL.

#1 They don't get to determine your destiny

#2 Negativity is the Moral Killer, do not buy into it

#3 Stay focused and don't allow a temporary pause to eat away at your confidence, excitement or drive

      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.
