I'm done...I made it



Recommended Posts

I have tried twice to "practice" doing the liquid diet because I have to do it for 10 days before surgery. I have not been able to stick to it. Maybe it will be different when I have no choice. I seem to be eating more right now too, I don't know if it's nerves or because I know later I won't be able to eat. Anyone go thru this?

I went through that just before I had my band. I felt like I had to have all the last supers before my band. Don't worry do what you can. It will help if you at least try a full day on liquids before the surgery so you will know you can do it after the surgery.

Yep, I sure did. My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday and I have a 7 day pre-op diet. Although I ate more than usual the week before I started on it, once I started my pre-op I didn't look back. I'm so pumped and ready to go .. I think that's my motivation. You'll do it too.

Thank you Longhorn I'll find out if it works now... and hope you all feel better soon after being banded.

It looks like you also posted the code in your avatar. You can change that to something else, if you want.

Patty that is great! WOW you came home the same day!?! My Dr. told me Friday that I will be in overnight. I am waiting to hear when my surgery date will be. Praying it will be before the end of the year, my insurance covers it all if I can get it in before Jan 1st. I have my Endo. Thursday morning. And all the other things will be scheduled on Monday.

Hope you are feeling better every day!

Hi Patty, You were just banded on the first and already you've lost 37lbs! that's awesome! did you lose it before the surgery? Can I ask you how you did it? I'm getting banded probably in the beginning of January and I've been trying to set myself up to eat better now that I've had all the testings etc. - For some reason the past few days I thought I was eating as if every minute of the day was my last supper - what mental frame I was in! Today I'm waking up and realizing I'm going to gain weight if I keep this up and I don't want to feel worse than I already feel as being so overweight and feeling so bloated. I would love to hear how everyone loses so much before their surgery - what do you eat? I am making a chicken breast, no skin/vegie Soup right now as we speak so I can eat it all night if I get uncontrollable hungry horrors!

I started Nutrisystem at the beginning of the year, lost some, then lost some more on the 2 week pre-op. I have lost 47 pounds since the beginning of the year now, I just don't know the pin number for the ticker. I guess I have to make another

shadst83 - What a great positive attitude! Wishing you the best on Wednesday!

awww, thanks. I made myself work on some difficult projects today at work, or I would've been bouncing off the walls. My co-workers would have wondered what the heck is up with me since none of them knows anything (insert diabolical, wicked laughter here) :biggrin1:

Eveda, I know exactly what you are saying about rude people, that's why I'm not telling anyone, the only ones that know are my husband and my closest girlfriend, and that's all (and I have friends and family that I'm close with too). I chose this because I don't want to hear everyone's opinions and comments, isn't it ironic how they all have opinions and are experts when it it's all about you? This is a very personal decision we have made and we need to have supportive people around us, that's why this group is the best! We're all in this together. Sometimes I think negatively self-centered opinionate people are just so miserable with themselves - you know "misery loves company". hehe!

      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.
