Hey, me too!



Recommended Posts

I am glad to have found all of you!!!!

I am having the same experience of loosing very slowly or not at all some weeks.

I thought I was doing something wrong since the other patients in my DR's office banded the same day as myself seem to be well "ahead" of me.

I keep telling myself it is not a race, as long as I get there and do not gain it is OK.

However, that does not change the fact that I get upset and discouraged.

Sometimes I feel like I am too conservative on the fills?

I am scared to be too tight since I travel from PA to Denver to see my doc and worry something will happen after I get home.

I do feel restricted and I eat healthy small meals 99% of the time.

Does any one feel this way?

Glad to know there are others out there that are going through the same thing:smile:

      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.
