Started Preop!!



Recommended Posts

Started my preop today a few days early. :w00t:

Stupid me though decided to also concrete a 5mx2.5mx0.15m area. Dad helped too, but Barrowing 1M of concrete myself and then helping to level it. Then edging it while dad troweled it on not much food wasn't the smartest thing I have done!!:lol::tt2: Looks great though!:thumbup:

Didn't think the headaches would start this early and I am really tired (but this could be contributed to by the concreting). I have been cranky too..luckily not too many arguments whilst concreting, well not due to my crabbiness anyway :tt2:

I think I'll be sleeping really well in the coming weeks so I can get over the hunger!!:thumbup:

18 days until surgery!

The Positive of starting this diet is it brings the surgery closer and makes me feel excited that this is really going to happen!:cool2:

Hello Roheryn: Sounds like you found yourself a good distraction from this big change. That is a lot of hard work. Your body has already started to notice the change. My headache lasted 2 days and was gone. Take good care of yourself and find a way to pamper yourself for these two weeks. Kim

      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.
