Recommended Posts

Just wanted to know how everyone is doing? I went to the post op visit today and I had lost 10lbs. Pretty good for me since only thing I could do is put on weight for the last couple of years! lol. He has me on mushy foods now for 3 wks. I will see how all this will go. Fill date is on the 16th, I hope everyone is doing ok.. I have gone back to work this week. Monday was my first day, it is like I have not missed a beat.

I went back to work on Monday too. My co-workers have been great. We go out eat all the time, but now we go eat soup! We have been eating Pho!

As for losing weight...I have lost about 14 pounds. Sad thing I don't fill it. I had gained so much weight that I feel the weight that i am losing is the weight I put on the day I found out I was having surgery. I so regret it. I would have been at 220 if I had not gained to my heaviest 253 pounds... Going down but slowly...for a good life....

I don't need my shorts crawling up my butt infront of those mirrors! LOL... I will start going over there soon but just not ready yet.

      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.
