Hi Yall I'm back



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Just back from Cancun this weekend. I am nice and tan, but I am sure that I packed on some pounds while I was gone. I refuse to weigh until next week and I will be a good bandster until then and see what happens.

Drumroll: I got my approval letter in the mail for my external appeal with my insurance for the medial thighplasty. My insurance is gonna pay for it.!!! Yeah! So they are paying for the stomach and the thighs. My PS is scheduled for next week on the 15th, but I have postponed it due to the fact that I have sold my house and I am moving in July. So my new surgery date is July 27th 2005. I didnt want to postpone it, but I cant see how I will be able to pack up a 4,000 sq ft house with drainage tubes sticking out of my body in all directions! LOL

So I am back and I am gonna do my best to lose the weight I have gained in the last month due to cessation of smoking, the Welbutrin I have been taking and my endulgences while on vacation. I will post some pics soon!!!

      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.
