Marchies:The Month Of The Turkey

Hi Tabithan,

Welcome to our group of steadfast banders. I also have not done so good, so your not alone. Just hang tuff and you will do just fine.

Keep us post on how you are doing.

Hi Tabathian

Welcome!

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I did pretty well with the meal but the Desserts got me!

But that's okay. Well I'm guessing that's okay. My scale's battery is dead and I've not replaced it as I should. Part of me thinks taking a break from the daily weighing is fine.

I go Tuesday for the second opinion for plastic surgery on the skin. I keep going around in my head about waiting until I'm smaller, but because I was big-which is not reflected in my ticker, I was 350# 10 years ago, I have copious skin.

But my schedule doesn't really allow for me to wait that much longer either...I hope to have a new job in the summer. I can't see saying, "Hello, does insurance cover this and may I have a month off to recover?"

Any way, I let you know what the surgeon says after this consult. I hope he's no better than the one I've already seen, because he's an hour and half away. I'd rather keep it local.

Have fun holiday shopping.

      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.
