Low Carb Diet
Sep 13, 2010
So I was thinking that I should put myself on the liquid diet for a day or two just to get the feel for it. At this point today though, I am starving. So I am making a compromise. I am gonna begin doing low carb. My goal is to eat no breads/pasta/rice for this week. I am gonna drink 2 of my protein shakes (56g each) throughout the day and have one meal of meat/eggs and veggies. So today I am having scrambled eggs with cheese, peppers and onions. Tomorrow I will most likely have some veggies and chicken. The only carb/treat that I am gonna allow myself is Healthy choice fudge bar (16carbs, fiber 5, sugars 5). If nothing else, it will give me a taste of life post gastric bypass. Also it may jump start my weight loss and allow me to have more than 5 pounds off by the time that I see the MD.I talked with the NP at the surgeons office to see if they had received all my pre-screening. She had it all but not my labs. I'm like. WTF. Quest sent me the results last week in the mail. With the MD, all they had to do is fax it. Oh well. Allise said she would call them. So hopefully all the info will be sent to the insurance for pre-approval today or tomorrow. Then it is a waiting game. I asked her how long it normally took, she didn't give me a straight answer. She did say that my surgery probably wouldn't be til Dec. POUTS! If that is the case, I may have to put it off til after New Year's because of work.
I am also looking into vitamins and such. I think that I have found the ones that I will buy. I am thinking the bariatic advance (or advantage). It's gonna be a little pricey though. 3months supply of MVI, iron, calcium, and SL B12 = $120 plus tax and shipping. I guess if I break that down into month supplies it is only $40 a month for them all. That's $10 each/month. So, I guess its not too bad. I have heard someone tell me to just take chewable flinstones MVI. I'm not to keen on that idea, because they are formulated for kids not adults. Just seems that something would be missing.
