Recommended Posts

I had my post op appointment yesterday and I feel soooo much better about myself. I was really having a rough time last week with the whole mental eating. Talking with the nurse made me feel great and a big weight was lifted off my shoulder. I've been drinking my Protein shakes, bought some bars and I can now have tuna. For now on it's ONLY Protein for me!

Also, I joined Curves today and will begin working out at lunchtime Monday-Friday. That's going to help keep my mind off food as well. :whoo:

Just wanted to let you all know that I am feeling much better and I am not going to let bad foods try to take control again!!!

Vanessa,

You have a great attitude. Good for you for starting to work out. I agree that it will help considerably.

Thanks great, Vanessa! It sounds like you're going to give yourself a chance to learn and you deserve that!

Today is my first day on mushies and I have to say I'm enjoying them. But in small quantities as I've noticed I feel satisfied more quickly.

Vanessa I can't wait to get back to working out. I am just walking now and I want back in the Water so bad I can taste it. I just don't feel like I am doing enough I guess. I have always been my wors critic...LOL

I am thrilled for you that you are able to work out on your lunch though. That would be really nice. I usually go right after work.

Good luck and let me know how the workouts feel on your port site..:cool:

      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.
