Recommended Posts

Hi All

So excited :( :grouphug: :frown3:

I had my consultation early feb and was weighed etc & due to work

committments could not have surgery until mon 28/04/08.

I must confess & after consultation went 'food crazy' saw it as 'last

chance saloon' & ate lots of rubbish :lol: (there confession over!)

So was really worried when went back for pre-op tests would weigh

more than I did in feb...but I have managed to pull myself back & been

on low-fat pre-op diet for 3 weeks & now weigh 5 kg less than in Feb. :biggrin2:

I consider monday as my new birthday & can't wait to stop my life

time of obesity...

Just thought I would share my thoughts & joy & is it normal to be

this excited?

Congratulations, Gingercat! I am still pre-op, so can't say if your excitement is natural from personal experience, but I would think it is. I hope I feel the same when it's my turn!

Good luck and post as soon as you feel up to it!

You know there is power in words... and when u said that "You will consider monday as your new birthday" A light bulb went off and I am there right with u. Turning points in your life are always marked with a date. Who says you can't have 2-birthday's.. ahhh I love it... and congrats...:(:thumbup::grouphug:

      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.
