Tomorrow is the big day!!



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is the big day for me. I am a little scared and more than just a little nervous. I am letting all of my past failures cloud my mind. While I was on cruise in the Bahamas this weekend, all I could think about was one day soon I am going to be able to wear a swim suit without that stupid little skirt on it. However, now that the surgery is tomorrow, I am thinking about the time spent on Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, LA Weight Loss, Physicians Weight Loss, Dick Gregory's Bohemian Diet (my first diet), and the many, many times I have been on diet pills. I am thinking about my friend that had the surgery 3 years ago and has not lost a pound. I am thinking what makes me think I can do it when she didn't. I am praying for strength and guidance as I try once again to lose weight. I know its the devil trying to discourage me. I slept most of the day so I wouldn't have to suffer on this liquid pre surgery diet, however, I am awake, and the kids are home and my hubby bought Chinese food for the family. I got Egg Drop Soup (strained of course), and everyone else got well..I won't continue. Anyway, this is just nervous energy. Anyway, tomorrow is the big day. I am nervous and hungry.:eek:

      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.
