Recommended Posts

Hi there, just thought I'd check in to see how everyone was doing. I haven' been on here in ages, so I am out of touch with who is still here and what is going on.. I notice the forum has grown -- just a little, hugh?? My life is not going well, too much stress, starting to spin out of control and thought I'd come back home to friends.. hope everyone is doing great.. hope to hear from you soon.

I have not had a fill since last November and am soooo over due for one.. I have one scheduled in two weeks and I can't wait.. I had maintained my weight really well this past year, (137-140 a good weight for me) but currently with almost no fill restriction and it doesn't help that I don't make good food choices and have tons of stress in my life. I have put on some weight, about 10-12 lbs, which is a lot. I feel miserable, I can't fit in any of my clothes and I refuse to buy a larger size and get comfortable there.. I just need to get my fill and get back on track.. I will definitely let you know how it goes. I have been reading up and trying to get acquainted with everyone.. I missed being on here and getting the support. It is such an important part of this journey.. Well, thank you for welcoming me back and hope to hear from you soon.

Welcome back.....(((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))

Take it a day at a time, try not to keep foods in your home or reach that are bad choices, we all have our comfort foods, not to say that's a good thing.

You've done really well to maintain and ONLY gain that little bit back, congratulations for realizing there is a problem now and addressing it 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.
