confessing to being a failure



Recommended Posts

It's not what you think. I am confessing to being dangerous around a computer, so inadequate. I am being banded tomorrow----yea yea..... In the last weeks I have found this site invaluable, such wonderful people sharing their journeys. Well I started out as freedom09. Everyone has a ticker and I also wanted to be "July09 Freedom Fighters". I read and read, and found wonderful instructions on how to do it, well if you look at some of my postings, I ended up with 2 tickers and my Freedom banner. I tried and tried to erase, delete, etc. To my embarrasment, I just rejoined lapbandtalk. and now I'm 09Freedom. I finally saw the light, and stumbled thru and got it right. So this is a new beginning--- I'm 60 and I'm just thrilled about making my life better. I have a loving husband and family who are very supportive. Now I have all of you to help me, hoping I can add to your journey also.

GO " Jully 09 FREEDOM FIGHTERS"

      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.
