I understand completely. I found the time between surgery and restriction VERY depressing. But then, like magic, I got pretty good restriction at 7.5 CCs (Very good at 8.5). That made all the difference in the world. The hunger is much less and the amount I can eat is much less.

It's still a challenge at times to eat healthy and get to the gym, but it's MUCH MUCH MUCH easier than it used to be.

Don't give up till you have proper restriction. It's like the difference between night and day. Hang in there -- it will get better!

Hang in there! As a military wife of another generation gone by...I understand how you feel...It is hard when you face times like these. give yourself a little forgiveness with the endurance to exercise. It took me forever to build up to where I am today and that is not saying much compared to some, but then my point is that you have to start somewhere. Before I could hardly walk around the block without becoming short of breath and to look at the elliptical was to go into a sweat. I think my start time was a whopping 3 minutes. keep at it alittle at a time. It is good to have you back and know that we are here for you!

Aww I'm sorry! Just try to focus your energy off food and on to something else? I know the head hunger is the worse. If your body isn't hungry though, you don't need more Fluid. It'll just make everything will just get stuck. Just pay attention, and stick with it, you can do it. Just think about how skinny you can be when your husband gets back home :D

Leslie Sansone has a dvd out that is 5 days to a slimmer you. You start out at 15 minutes a day which is a mile, and you work yourself up to 5 miles. I do 2 miles a day doing this usually. The dvd is fantastic, and it gets you slowly into exercising. Anything is better than nothing.

As far as the deployment thing, I've been there and done that twice now. Hubby got home last April after being in Iraq for a year. They are starting to gear up for another go at the end of 2012. We have a pretty fast tempo for a reserve unit. All I can tell you is to get involved with the FRG. (not sure what the Army calls it. We are Navy.) I've made some wonderful friends through ours. You can hopefully find somebody that you can connect with.

If you need anything at all, a shoulder to cry on, a pep talk, or somebody that knows what you are going through, just pm me. I will send you my email and phone number.

Hang in there. This journey isn't easy, but it is doable.

      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.
