Recommended Posts

Salsa:

I've been lurking on this thread for a while and just wanted to say congratulations on your half marathon. Happy Birthday, and best wishes for your upcoming plastic surgery.

You've accomplished so much. I cannot wait to see your pictures.

Thanks for posting all that you do. It really helps us plastic surgery wannabe's to know what to expect when it is our turn.

Take care and we'll all be thinking of you.

Thank you for all the birthday wishes. I had a wonderful day. The best part is...this was the first birthday that I remember that I wasn't self conscious. We rode go karts today and I never once had to worry about if the seat belt was going to fit! In fact...it was too big and the guy had to help me adjust it SMALLER!

Just got a call from the surgery center. My surgery doesn't start until 9AM tomorrow so it will be late when I get home. It is still scheduled for 6 hours so I should be out of surgery around 3PM. My DH will text IndioGirl and she will post when I am out of surgery. I will post when I get home.

Thanks for all the well wishes!

      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.
