The key to my success is my refrigerator

Yep! My fridge is my best weight loss friend - that and my cell phone!!!

How and why?

Firstly I have my own fridge in the house - nobody but me uses it

The main fridge has a built in lock on it. My partner has a key. My nephew has a key and our housekeeper has a key. I don't

In my fridge goes my food only. Anything that I am not allowed to have goes in the main fridge and is locked to prevent temptation.

My second best friend is my cell phone - with the number of my dietitian on speed dial. If I am in any doubt about what I can or cannot have I text her for an immediate approval or rejection.

I am down 30 lbs since 1 November when I started the pre-op and 20 lbs since being banded on 11 November

I have not had a fill and my Dr is not anticipating that I will have a fill for some time.

I got thru Xmas dinner by having a small serve of turkey and cranberry sauce with potato salad. I rejected the cake and ice cream and apple pie - my will power to succeed amazed me. The hug and kiss I got from my loving partner for being responsible was better than cake and ice cream anyway. Honestly - it really was.

BUT - when I got home a friend who did not know that I have been banded bought me a gift of chocolate brownies - MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE dessert

It went into the locked fridge and a distress call went to Dr Cindi - I WAS APPROVED - for half a brownie and a 1 mile walk - the rest was put into the freezer until I reach my next milestone of 220 lbs - only 12 more lbs to go before BROWNIE TIME

Merry Christmas to all from Indonesia

      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.
