A ONEderful day



Recommended Posts

Today is my first ONEderful day, seeing the scale start with a 1!

This last fill has been difficult, I have days when I can't eat much at all, it seems as if the stomach gets irritated, then nothing you try will work until it gets calmed down again. I can't drink more than about 3 swallows of liquid without feeling stuck. I end up PBing 3-4 time per week.

Like most of you, I gave up pop long ago, but now my stomach seems to be rejecting Gatorade G2 or Powerade Zero, anything fruity or sweet seems to cause trouble. That means I'll be down to just drinking plain Water all the time. Not very appealing. I have another fill appt tomorrow, I may see if I should have a drop or two removed instead of added. I don't think I could take any more being added.

Congrats on hitting onederland!!!!

As far as the fill goes I would not get anymore added, it sounds as if you probably have a little too much.

Good luck to you!

Congrats on your accomplishment! Try Ocean Sprays pink grapefruit. You can buy it in those tubes and add it to Water. It isn't too sweet. Also I swear by special K's Vitamin water.

Thanks for the tips on the grapefruit juice and Special K Water. I've never come close to the 64 oz of water that the 105 lb dietician claims is mandatory for the human species, but I try to get at least 32 in.

      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.
