Hi! from an excited noob



Recommended Posts

:party:I just got confirmation that my financing was approved and i am so excited!! But since this is something i don't want anyone i know to know about, i don't have anyone to share the excitement with.

I've read so much online and everyone seems so pleased with the results that i just cant wait to see a healthier me in the mirror. There are so many health problems in my family history and now that i am a few months short of being 40, it really scares me. I see my grandparents and now my mom too taking so many medications, its like a pharmacy in their bathrooms, i do not want that to be my future. I need to get my weight to a healthy amount so that i can do other things to improve my health. Its so frustrating to be out of breath from walking a distance that is not even equal to being one block.

Well, i am truly excited about this. I look forward to a healthier me.:)

      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?

      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.
