My surgery is in 3 months



Recommended Posts

Okay so I am having a really hard time. My surgery is in 3 months but I am having a difficult time choosing the right foods to eat. I used to go out EVERYDAY with my coworkers to get lunch (burgers and fries, burritos and tacos, doughnuts, anything unhealthy I would be going there and buying lunch. So now that I have to stop and choose the right food choices to eat, I am finding it so difficult when I see them leave to go get lunch and I am drinking a Protein Shake or any other type of Meal Replacement. Can anyone give me advice on how to get through this "hunger phase"? Motivation to just stick through this process.

Hi, I understand how you feel over the last 6 months I struggled. It depends your diet that you're on. Are you on 20 carbs a day? You might can have lean meat and vegetables for lunch and dinner but Breakfast have your Protein Shake for snack sugar free Jello. Sometimes you can go out with your coworkers. If you get a burger don't eat no bread. That's what I was supposed to be on lol I got off track sometimes practice make perfect. I made it through you can too. Best wishes on your weight loss journey!

Sooo I’m a big fan of chik fil a their nuggets are on plan for me and I can get a large Water for free and their fruit is fantastic. Also learn to modify food and be picky get creative. Go to a sub shop and get an order of meatballs with cheese and sauce get a large salad with grilled chicken on top I like ceaser my self ummmm ask for meatloaf at family restaurants and sub out the potatoes with broccoli food isn’t something to be avoided and honestly you’re not gonna be able to live on Protein Shakes for all of eternity so go venture out

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
