I got my Head Shrunk and I SURVIVED!!!!



Recommended Posts

I made it through with flying colors. He told me I have reasonable expectations and that I am fully informed. I told him I want to be healthy, I know I will end up with hanging skin, but that I would really like to be around for another 20+ years to see my grandchildren grow up.

He wanted me to describe what they were going to do. Good thing I watched that Video, I described it in DETAIL, and I do mean detail.

I took our surgery list and our September Samurai banner with me. He was VERY impressed.

He actually said I was pretty level and complimented me on my growth over the last 8 years.

Thanks to all of you for your support. Two more days of tests left and then I just wait for the day that will change my life forever.

Woo Hoo almost there :biggrin::thumbup::cursing::thumbup::thumbup:

      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.
