the best 5 lbs I ever gained



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to post about the best 5 lbs and 3 oz I have ever gained.

As many of you may have read on and off. My dh and I have two adopted children with sdown syndrome and a biological little one as well, well this past friday (4th) we took placement of another beautiful little girl.

I have not been very active for the past few weeks (even reading as much) because I have been getting ready for her and trying to get bedding and stuff done and get all her social service stuff taken care of.

Well here she is!!!!

And I am still working on that last pound till "onederland", but two weeks of fast food & restaurant food in a hotel in TX didn't help!!

The baby is beautiful and so are you and your family. You are such a special angel, not everyone could do what you've done. I take my hat off to you and your family. I'm sure there will be a special place for you in heaven, (not that we're sending you off by any means). Those children are so blessed to have you as their mom. I just love people like you. God Bless You!

      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.
