How did we all do on thanksgiving?



Recommended Posts

I did good eating. It was after midnight, when my son started seizing that I had SERIOUS issues. Most of the day yesterday I managed sips of Water, then some ice cream later in the day. I had to do something. I'm still not back to normal, and I get a fill wednesday. I hope everything is back to normal then.

My son is nearly 3 yr olds (one of my twins). He'd had seizures in the NICU when he was recovering from some surgery. Anyway, they went away. So they took him off the seizure meds 8 months ago. His system was seriously overwhelmed with colds/virus's/immunizations. So it triggered a 90 minute seizure. He ended up being life-flighted to a larger hospital (the one with the NICU he was in), and me making a FAST trip to get to be with him. His twin and my older son went with grammy. My band tightened up so bad it hurt at times. But we made it thru the storm. We're stronger for the events of the day, and I'm thankful to be back home.

Hi Teri. I am so sorry that you and your family had to go through this. I'm sure it was scarey for you, and for your boys. Being a Mom of healthy children is rough... but when they are sick it is so very hard. I know you go through a lot on a day to day basis, and I think you are an amazing woman and a wonderful Mother. I'm glad that things turned out ok. I am so proud of you for doing so well with you new band - I know how important getting healthier is to you and you are doing an awsome job. You are lucky to have your sons and they are VERY lucky to have you. Keep up the good work and take good care of the angels Mother... ok? Becky

p.s. - I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ate well, spent time with the people that I love, and focused on all of the things that I am thankful for. I am blessed.

      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.
