Where Is Everyone?



Recommended Posts

I actually lost weight while on vacation. It was so hard to find on-the-road food that I can eat that I ended up eating a lot less than usual. I was amazed to realize how much I've always depended upon fast food on a road trip. Giving up all those hamburgers and supersized fries went a long way toward promoting weight loss for me.

But even real restaurants often don't have things I can happily eat. One of my favorites is Soup, but if a place offers Soup, half the time it is some form of Tomato or something chock full of broccoli. Yuck.

Intellectually I am aware that I am now what most of the western world considers a normal size, but I can't quite get my instincts around it. Every time I meet with the scale, I expect it to register numbers that require moving that little silver slidey thing to the 150 mark before I move the other little slidey thing all the way to the far end of the balance beam.

      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.
