Hey April Bandsters!! How is everyone today!! Kathy your day is just about here! Im so happy for you.

Yesterday I started my Low-Carb diet and I think I gained 2lbs LOL ahhh my body is probably having a fit that im putting it on a diet again.. I wish i could lose 10lbs but I will be happy if I lose 5lbs before surgery! the 1 week before surgery I have to be on a liquid diet so I will lose there. So is anyone else going on a diet before surgery??

Take Care

i think i am late joining this topic and i also posted elsewhere.. but just in case..

My surgery is April 15th in Mesquite with Dr. Wade Barker.

He is really nice and i tend to flirt with him... is that bad? :)

I have no idea if he is single or not.. but... he is in my age range and he is a surgeon after all... this could work out in more ways than one.. if you know what i mean!!

haha

anyway... i am in for April!

Hi Trish S and all,

I have to say that Iam putting on evey day...What the hell I am 100% sure that Iam going to loose so I have been having all the things I have been having in moderation and enjoying as I won't have the chance again. The best thing is I know I won't have them so I enjoy and am happy to say a some what good bye.I have even started riding my bike everwhere so when all the nosey mother marfias at the school start to notice the weight loose I shall be able to hold my head up high and lie.Yes lie through my teeth.It's the bike riding doing it.As they all think that if you don't put lots of sweat and tears into weight lose you don't deserve credit.But to you all like myself we all know it's going to be hard the longerst I have only ever had liquids is on a 24hr drinking bing,so the thought for 6 weeks terrifies me .Iam sure that will be harder than any going to gym and working out.The only thing the gym has brought me is three pregnancies and 4 children.Thats right I start at the gym and fall pregers.

Good luck guys and when you are haveing all those liquids just thinks there are loads of us out there with you learning to enjoy being slimmer,

All the best Annette

I'm APRIL 27TH!!! (2 days after my 22nd bday!)

Did anyone have to do that test where they shove a LONG tube thru your nose and down into your esophogas? I think it was called the Esophogeal mamotry or something? THAT WAS SOOOO HORRIBLE!!!

I start my pre-op diet on the 13th... wish me luck!

      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.
