Recommended Posts

Jason from Tri-cities. Turning 30 on 4-29-09. Married to Dana with daughter Lauren (3) & son Tyler (1). Weight: Do I seriously have to say.... haha 475+ and 100% ready to have Dr. Fox Band me. It is past time to get my life on the right track. I am very lucky not to have diabetes yet and want to fight to beat it before it rears its ugly head along with the multitude of other weight related health conditions. I got diagnosed in Feb 2008 with high blood pressure. I am ready to watch my kids grow, have more energy, play with my kids & do all the things they want me to be able to do. My wife, Dana, is a true joy to live with and I want more!!! I am not ready to die... life is too much fun!

I have attented the seminar for NW WLS and also Dr. Fox's seminar in Richland. I have decided to use Dr. Fox & my initial consultation is Apr 27! What a birthday present to myself huh? HaHa!!

It looks like this site will be very helpful, uplifting, informative & supportive. I can't wait to start posting results someday soon!

Jason

      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.
