Thanks Terri :) It's only been a week since my fill and I followed my liquids and mushies instructions pretty close and have made a real effort to use the Protein Drinks and pay attention to the drinking while eating. I'm not perfect on that part by any means but I've got myself down to tiny sips. I'm sure it's mostly Water weight but this week so far it's been 4 lbs gone. I use a toddler fork and spoon to help better gauge myself now that I'm onto other foods again. Im not very good with chopsticks but I'm going to break them out again this weekend. I find it makes me really work for it and slows me down a whole lot. When I first tried it I was eating cut up skinless hot dog bites (cut in fourths) and baked Beans. I would get a single baked bean at a time on my chopstick. Lol. Needless to say, i didn't eat very many but I felt like I sure was lol. Hope y'all have a great weekend. It's so humid!!

DFW banders! I read a book recently called 703: How I lost over 500 pounds and changed my life. It's written by a lady named Nancy Makin. She weighed over 700 pounds and lost over 500 of it. She DID NOT have any surgery of any kind. She did it all on her own. I have to say the book was captivating. It was one of those books I read in one read. Couldn't put it down. So you're asking what the point is. The point is that now she's a motivational speaker and she's coming to Waco to speak and do a book signing sometime in the near future. I do not know her personally but do know a friend of hers that she does a talk show with. I am not getting anything out of this. I just read the book and was totally inspired by her. If anyone is interested in a good read I picked up her book on Amazon for two dollars used. And if ya'll would be interested in coming to hear her speak let me know. I'll post the info! Hope I'm not overstepping...

In the bathtub, with coffee as it my daily routine, but thinking that will change for a.while.

I am a REALTOR so I can pretty much work things into my schedule, with some notice. So I would love to get together with everyone, if we ciuld come up with a fairly central location. We could all share one bowl of soup! LOL.

      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.
