Day 1 pre-op down, 13 more to go! Surgery day 7/3/17!!



Recommended Posts

Finished day 1 of liquids. I survived! Actually it really wasn't that bad. 3 premier shakes and what felt like a fresh lake of Water. I'm not crazy, I know this was only day 1 and it's going to get harder as the days progress. I'm most concerned about this weekend, to much time, I need to stay busy. During the week I am typically crazy busy at work and the evenings go by fast. I just need to get through this weekend and I feel/hope that the next week I will be ok. The end of the month is a crazy week at work for me. Saturday 7/1 I figure I'll run errands and pack because I get out of dodge and fly in to San Diego Sunday morning. I figure a 4 hour flight and spending the day in Tijuana will take my mind off of food, I hope lol. I am so glad I stopped my Diet Pepsi addiction over a week ago and I feel fortunate that I had no withdrawals from it. Looking forward to meeting my surgery buddies and 🙏🏻 for each of us to have easy and fast recoveries! I'm excited with anticipation and a little nervous.....

I did my first day today also. I was fine until this evening. I'm feeling quite hungry in waves. I've heard just the first three are bad.

I was going to send you a message and see how your first day went. I'm glad it went well :) I have tried to kick the soda habit as well (for me it's diet coke). I guess in my head I thought of it more as a "treat" than anything...so I learned that anyway. I'm here if you need any support or just someone to talk to! I look forward to seeing you!

The need for soda was in my head. About a week before I gave it up I reduced down to one a day. Then I went cold turkey almost two weeks ago. Thankfully when I stopped I had no headaches whatsoever I did start taking B12 for some energy because I noticed I was dragging. I had MAJOR head hunger last night and almost convinced myself I could have some salmon;but, fortunately I didn't cave, I just went to my bedroom and watched TV LOL. I know I can't do it for the next week and a half but if I have to I will LOL. I know, we're going to be in Mexico in no time. Really looking forward to meeting you as well. I'm here too if you need support. 😊

Yes I think 2 in the evening was hard. When I'm at work I don't seem to have an issue, it's when I'm at home. Evenings are so hard I may just have to live in my bedroom for the rest of the next two weeks LOL

How did everyone do over the weekend? We went to the beach and there was food festival [emoji45]. I kept to the diet though and had fun playing with the kids.

I was shocked but it was very easy. Once I got over the hump, I've been good and no cravings. I've been trying to keep the surgery a secret from my 11 yr old daughter and she still doesn't know, she thinks I'm just dieting. But wow she notices I'm not eating. She's such a worrier, I don't need to have her worrying and the extra stress. I'll cross that bridge after. 😊 🙏🏻 the rest of the week is this easy! So happy to hear you had no problems either. 🎉

      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.
