I "only" wanted my life back and I got it!

And this "only"....I "only" went shopping for one outfit for a wedding but ended up with "only" three just cuz they fit!:biggrin:

Can I amend your statement Apples2 and say that you ended up with "only" three just cuz they look good!

That's the big difference - before you bought clothes because they fit - NOW you buy clothes because not ONLY do they fit - THEY LOOK GOOD! Enjoy!!!

That is so true and thank you for amending my statement, Emjay. So nice to know now that things will just fit.

Guilty! Though, I always add in an asterisk because I know that it's awesome pace and something to be very happy about.

I embrace your challenge! Now, if we could just get rid of the word "diet" as a deprival/derogatory term, and use it as the "diet" meaning what we eat to live...

      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.
