Hi ya'll - I'm new here!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I'm new to this community - I was banded almost 2 wks ago on 10/1/09. I'm 31 and my highest weight was 297 - I'm down to 279 as of 10/9/09. Who knew a liquid diet would be that successful?!

I'm struggling right now NOT to eat - I am craving a salad. I don't even care if it has salad dressing! I started a blog (the good, bad and ugly - all of it), so feel free to stop by and offer up ideas, support, etc. It can be found here: Following my Dreams, One by One

I can't wait until my first fill - I haven't been hungry until today but holy cow, it's awful! Thanks in advance for all your support. I'm just having one of those rough days.

xo,

Adrienne :thumbup:

Hi LilMissDiva! Thanks for your kind words. Today is going much better. I RANTED on my blog last night and I got all my anger out - so today is better, thankfully haha. I even dropped the "F-bomb" on there, which is sooo not like me! I just wanted a salad haha.

Anyway, how's your journey going? I hope all is well with you. I know this is going to be a bumpy journey, so I'm prepared for what's to come.

Thanks again!

Hi Leslie-

Glad you read it and liked it! I feel much better today, which is fan-freaking-tastic. My mom laughed so hard at my f-bomb (maybe I should put an 18 or older clause on there haha). Feel free to stop byt he blog any time - leave comments too! I'd love to share ideas, recipes, etc. Hope all is well with you!

Best,

Adrienne :thumbup:

      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.
