Coming Back



Recommended Posts

Well, I have been off here pretty much since the new format. Was having technical difficulties that I now hope are resolved.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I sort of stopped attacking the scale each morning when the goodies started appearing at work and certainly (over)indulged, but balanced a bit by walking some. Managed to lose a few pounds for a grand total of 83 since 10/09.

Need to get back to surgeon and follow up better for my health. I quit second job and have turned over a new leaf at school by 'letting go' of a lot of my anger at Principal. he is still a jerk, but that is his problem and I am no longer letting it be mine. I feel better inside and out.

Wore new jeans and an almost skimpy sweater to a party this afternoon and was amazed at the reactions of some. Felt good and now have a big head that no longer matches my a$$. LOL

Hope to be back here frequently, as I know it keeps me honest and motivated.

Here's to to having a year full of "less"

Tracy, I was happy to see you return, this new format sucks but one does get used to it, kind of. I wish more of the old timers would come back...the newbies need us and we need each other.

I have had a few serious issues and have been unfilled totally for 2 months and have gained 20 pounds, it has been hard on me to say the least....I still may lose my band.

Your recommittment to losing wt and letting go of your anger at the prince is awesome.

I am looking forward to your posting more,

Mimi

      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.
