I'm done...I made it



Recommended Posts

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!

Hey, I am fully understanding for that..however I kind of open myself to other friends...I was kind of stressed before it and I just went thru the divorce and I am pretty alone here - my family is oversees. I start talking about that between friends and guess what I really found lots of pple who accep it and wonted help! I also learn that some of my friends are just not friends fo rme anymore! so that is a good lesson. Hovewer I didt say to my boss, coworkers and not to all my family..they can be very cruel I know. But belive me I am so happy now to be banded and see the scale going down everyday that I don't care anymore about them critisizing me and I am starting to take the complements how great I am looking day by day! I went to hairdresser and make myself pretty and I am so happy to be here and be able to talk with fellow like me! I really enjoy my life now - and it is just a beggining - a week after!!!I am all excited that I can trully say that all pain I went thru its woth the feelings I have now!!!

Good luck with your band! keep me updated!

cheers,

edeva3

      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.
