Recommended Posts

Stuck at work second Saturday in a row and I'm gettin me some good B-Pal time in!!

All I can say is WOW WOW WOW THANK YOU :1357_pray_tone3: Your stats are blowing me away. You are all so amazing and I want to be a part of your losers club!! Your commitment and suggestions and gentle direction are exactly what I need to read to keep this thing going. My surgery is 10/17 and some days I'm smooth as silk and others I'm a freekin basket case and I can always find exactly what I need here to pick me up when the stress of it all gets me down.

What a lifesaver this place is. Thank you and happy day :778_heartbeat:

Agree in the most part.

I come here and read opinions and anecdotes. Most are absorbing and inspiring. However there are some extremists and very strongly held 'outlier' views.

I try to be careful, ingest the thoughts they have and divide by the number of outlying opinions.

Ah, yes, I have seen some of those posts and honestly, they're too painful for me! It's the encouragement and inspiration I come for. Take what I need, offer what I can and leave the rest....

      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.
