Grateful for this group



Recommended Posts

I’m really grateful for having found this group & all of you. You’re all mostly positive, encouraging & joyful. I belong to a few FB groups and Lordy.... some people are so darn judgmental. This weight loss surgery business is very serious & very real & I’m here because I’ve been beaten down physically, emotionally & mentally I certainly don’t need a bunch of shaming from others . I used to belong to WW “connect” app & they were all super positive & informative & encouraging as well. So ty so much everyone for being a supportive bunch. Unlike WW ... I’ve been unsuccessful in finding a face to face support group for WLS peeps. The one my hospital offers doesn’t even slightly cut it. Personally .... I do so much better in my life when I’m surrounded by like minded people that have similar goals & are striving to live their best lives. The surgical team at my hospital have encouraged me, when I’m ready, to help them with their group or start a new one. They’ll support it with the nutritionist, surgeon etc. In time.
But today... I have all of you & I’m super grateful for that. The wealth of info that you provide, the positive feedback & sharing your experience, strength & hope is invaluable. ❤️

I am grateful too. The Facebook groups I checked out weren’t for me, I think I posted once.

      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.
