My Friend's Weird Rumour About WLS



Recommended Posts

So, ever since I've been planning to have bariatric surgery, a friend of mine told me not to do it - that it would make my head shrink like in the movie Beetlejuice. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, it's this scene:

I've shown her before and after pictures, I've pointed out the fact that my surgeon's office publishes a calendar of before and after pictures. I've even asked my surgeon about this crazy rumour, even knowing and prefacing the question with the fact that I know that it is a rumour. Yet, she continues to persist with this craziness.

I have heard the opposite where they call it "lollipop head" meaning your head looks bigger with the smaller body.

I guess that could be the case. After all, when the circumference of your waist stops being equal to the height of the Girl Scout who rang your doorbell to sell you Cookies, I guess some things might look bigger in proportion.

      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.
