Looking Forward For Great Things



Recommended Posts

So how are you doing this fine Sunday? 6 days out,you probably are a mite sore, but it will pass. Every day, every way you're gonna get better and better! And you'll come to terms with your new belly, learn what is easy, what is hard, but gradually you'll firm a truce and go forward. And you have friends out here who have been through it all! I was an RnY but we still share a lot of the pains, sorrows and joys with the sleevers. So still ask me, I'm full of answers except of my,own case, parts of it still mystify me. But I'll get through, so will you, and the future will be bright ahead. 😝💓😝🍀

Congratulations and welcome to the losers bench! I too am excited for my journey. I think the one thing I most look forward to is competing in a ballroom competition that I wanted to do last year but due to my weight was intimidated. I am super excited for this September as it was this competition I saw last year that made me decide to get this done. My son has been a teacher for 7 years and I only finally just gave in to taking the lessons a year ago April! I am so looking forward to this year.

      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.
