I had all you lovelies on my mind today and thought I would reach out to see how everyone is doing! I am 37 pounds to my goal weight and from a size 24 pants to a size 12. I am feeling great and hope you all are too!!!
I’ve been stalled since early Nov when I fell down stairs carrying laundry and broke my scapula. 😔 I’ve lost 70 lbs but so far from my goal of loosing another 80-90 lbs
Hal711 that was meant to be a reply to you but I’m not good at using this app apparently 🤨
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.
