Determined to not fail!



Recommended Posts

This is my last hope... it HAS to work! I WILL make it work, forever~!

Hi! I am Jen Hardy in Houston. I am fed up with being this overweight (120 overweight). I am tired of my life being stolen from me, tired of being envious of "normal" people I see, tired of feeling like a failure to myself and my family. Tired of giving up life's most precious gift, the feeling of good health, self-love and loving other people. I will not tolerate this anymore. I will use this tool to achieve my goal and use it wisely, not throw away a special opportunity to change my life back to the way it was and should always be. I refuse to give up any more special days with my family because I am too self-conscious to do certain activities with them. I refuse to give up anymore of my life's passions because I physically cannot do them anymore.

I plan on having this operation by the end of APril/beginning of May 2010. Then my life will change forever and for good in a positive way! I am honored to be a part of your journey and follow everyones road, even with the bumps! I know it won't be easy, but I am finally ready to fight, once again, once and for all.:wink2:

Namaste

Jen Hardy

Now that's what I call a 'Positive Mental Attitude'. Awesome!!

Just remember that it is a tool and you need to follow the instruction manual for it to do it's job. It takes time to change the habits of a lifetime but it can be done if you stick with it through the dark and the light.

Good luck

      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.
