P.S. I'm in Onederland



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I miss you all - have been very busy at work and at home. Things with me are good though- I have good restriction, am not too hungry too often, am enjoying eating a lot of vegetables though getting my Protein in is a bit challenging. Moving away from a life dominated by food has also brought emotional and spiritual growth, and I'm grateful for that. My thoughts are with Sades and Shortgal - two brave, strong women, there. I hope to be able to be on line and in touch more regularly soon. All the best,

Bandpal

p.s. I almost forgot - I weighed in at 197.89 this morning, so I've made it to Onederland!

Thanks very much for your kind words. It's been almost 4 days since being rebanded and so far so good.

      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.
