sorry gone so long



Recommended Posts

Sorry I've been gone so long. Life took over. Well, I had to start my 6 months over so it is all consecutive. I'm on month 2 and they are flying by. My sister is also doing her 6 months and we hope to get banded together. Still at 278, maintaining. At least I'm not gaining, my doctor says that's good. I'm not happy about it. Keeping a food and exercise journal. Started walking - OW!:) I hurt so bad after my walk I have to take my pain pills. I've tried walking less but it still hurts. But the doc says walk so I walk. No weight loss yet. I walk about 9 blocks a day, down to get the mail at the post office and back. I barely make it back. Can't breathe, hurt real bad, the works. I can't wait till I get banded. My insurance says if I get the 6 months consecutive then I will qualify and be good. My out of pocket max is only 1800 and I can do that with the tax refund next year. Hopefully my sister gets done at the same time. She is just starting her 6 months but mine are up in December however won't have the money to pay for it until Feb. so she can catch up. Just means I'll have a couple extra months is all. That can only help. Doc wants me at 1800 calories a day, having trouble cause I'm so hungry but doing my best staying between 1800 and 2200. Big span I know, but doing my best. Anyway, just thought I'd drop in and say hi, let everybody know I'm still alive. Will try to be on more often now. Things have settled down a little bit. Okay having trouble with my ticker, what's the website again to fix it?

      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.
