Recommended Posts

Hi all: My name is Sumom(alias). I am 39 years old and am having my surgery done at Rush in Illinois next Friday. I'm a bit nervous. Is this really going to work? I weigh over 325 and and have been on the liquid diet for 8 days now. I'm ok now. My sister had it done, she's doing ok and she works alot. I'm wondering how long with diet and excerise how long will it take to see a huge difference? Dr Jonathan Meyers is my Surgeon. He is awesome. Got me approved in just 6 monthsincluding the 3 mos of nutrition classes.As soon as I learn how, I will down load some pics. Any advice?:biggrin::tongue2:

That's three of us for this Friday. I am in Alabama and I know a number of people who have had it done. And yes, it does work. But it is a tool. We still have to make the quality food choices.

      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.
