10 Days until surgery!



Recommended Posts

Just had my final pre-op appointment yesterday and I was so stoked when I stepped on the scale and it said 249lbs.!!! I've been tolerating the liquid diet really good, no headaches or nausea. However, I did have a craving to chew some food...I chose to chew up a popsicle instead. I've come to far to listen to my cravings...not today Satan!!!

HW: 297

CW: 249

SW: We shall see when the 25th comes!

Hi Twin! You look FAB! Congrats on so much weight loss. You're killing it. I'm eager for the 25th to arrive. I don't know about you, but the close date is giving me a huge burst of energy to get stuff done.

Hey there Twinsie!!! Thank you for the compliments. I am so eager for the 25th to get here as well! I've already started going through old clothes and bagging up things that have gotten too big, so that I can give them away!!! I can know practically run up my stairs and remember not long ago I had to walk one step at a time.

Sounds like the same burst of energy pregnant women get before delivery. Doctors call that a Nesting Syndrome. Can we call this a Renovation Syndrome? You know you are going to get your innards remodeled and you want everything controlled in place. That way you can approach this with Peace of Mind. Remember we are proud of each of you, you are our sisters and brothers in a very special way.💜💚❤

It's actually a maxi dress. One of my favorites but, I am definitely willing to part with it when it gets too big lol

Good for you for getting those clothes bagged up. You definitely are feeling the energy too. I'm eager to unbox smaller clothes in the months to come. ONE MORE WEEK!!!!!

      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.
