Hello from Duncanville, TX



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am new to the site. My name is Amy I live in Duncanville, TX and have a beautiful 6 year old daughter named Marissa. I am scheduled for surgery on Friday, April 11, 2008. I am a self pay because I was denied by my insurance because my BMI was too high (I know, I know....). Anyway, I decided not to fight the system (insurance) after many months of indecision to pay for it myself. I am looking forward to learning from the pros!

Good Luck with your surgery. Ironically enough, I'm scheduled for surgery with Dr. Felts on the same day as you!:thumbs_up:

      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.
