Ah three of us

let’s do this together then💪🏻💪🏻

I was the same excited nervous but feeling a little daunted this evening as I was supposed to be having sleeve tomorrow but it’s third April now ,,, another two weeks of pre op. I’m on very low fat and hardly any carbs here too. Not ordered Protein shakes/powder yet as yet as my daughter was going to go out and look about for me when she visits but I may order some now in advance. @maddiesmom @alchaley

Surgery triplets!! @alchaley and @feelinghopefulnow
I’m excited and freaking out a little... lol just nerves though!
I’m ready to be past the first month! I’m not scared but just trying to get prepared. My dr only has me on a low fat before, not liquid only, so I’m happy about that. I’m ordering samples of different Protein Drinks and powders so I’ll have them on hand. I’ve also gotten a few groceries here and there that I’ll need for the mush phase. pudding, jellos, cream of wheat, tuna, etc.

@MaddiesMomma @Feelinghopefulnow How exciting to have TWO surgery sisters! Although I'm only required to do 1 week low fat prior to surgery, I'm opting for 2 weeks to support my daughter who is getting sleeved next week. Next week I'll make sure to do even better than this week and then I have only 3 days of full liquids before surgery, not bad. I'm much more chatty on Facebook than here. If you prefer to keep in touch that way just send me a pm so we can link up!

Have a wonderful day ladies!!!!!

Day three of my liquid diet today and I actually feel pretty amazing. It’s nice to know I’m purging all the crap out of my body and I was super hungry yesterday morning but once I got over that hump I’ve been ok. I’m in a really positive mindset and ready for what is to come!

Finally got my surgery date of April 29th.

They told me if there is a cancellation they will move up the date, nonetheless I am happy. I already have all of my final appointments set up before surgery, meeting with anesthesia, consent form, blood work and nutritionist visit. I was also given the pre-op diet plan which will be 12 days long. (Oh boy)☺️. I am having the sleeve, my doctor and I went over everything again.

Good luck to everyone!!!

      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.
