Recommended Posts

So surgery is tomorrow .... nervous but just anxious to get it over with lol ... excited but nervous ..... been hard 6 months working lost about 45 lbs during the last 6 months ... and now this is just the beginning of this journey...well midway ... surgery 9am so I know it’s going to be hard getting a good sleep any suggestions to sleep calm like a baby lol ... I try not to think of it to much but it’s surgery and thats a main thing... I have heard of doctors stopping surgery due to fatty liver even if they did diet changes and lost weight .... also after surgery do you take your Protein liquid that day hours after surgery or what happens after surgery do I bring my protein liquid drink with me ??? or once I go home is it then that i start my liquid drink once again ...??

I'm on Optifast I'm allowed 3 shakes 1 Protein Bar and 1 Soup. I've lost 10 pounds but with that said I think it's because it runs right through me😫As long as you are following it you'll be ok!

Glad to hear all went well. I am going in on 12/11 and feel the same way - excited but scared. It is great to hear everyone's stories and their progress through the months. You all give me such hope. During this whole process I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease so I am hoping this weight loss will make my legs feel a lot better. Mine is all in my legs and feet. I do not have any tremors or pain/cramping in my arms or hands at all. Legs are getting weaker so this weight loss should really help.

      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.
