Newbie in Sunny AZ!



Recommended Posts

Hello ALL,

I have been researching this for a while. I hope to get all things in order next month. From the looks of it everyone one seems to be happy with their decision, I hope to be on the losing side as well.

Thanks!:(

We usually have a Phoenix Bandster lunch every month or so. Everyone is welcome regardless of what stage you are in. Newbie, newbie banded, old timer.. makes no difference.

This month it will be Sunday 1/28/08 at 1PM. It is undecided if it will be at Sweet Tomatoes on I17/Dunlap or Black Bear Diner on 61st Ave/Bell. Anyone is welcome including friends and family.

      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.
