A Reminder To Make You Smile :)



Recommended Posts

I saw this and it was very uplifting and a great reminder of what we are all here trying to do, we all have our up and downs, but we are here for the exact same purpose...to change our lives. So next time you get down on yourself because the scale hasnt moved in a couple of weeks, or even a couple of months, or you start to reach for Cookies or what ever your guilty pleasure may be, for me it is ice cream (for the the 3rd time this week)instead of reaching for fruit or string cheese (or your favorite healthy snack) think of this photo, and remember what you did this for. YOU! to be a better, healthier YOU! I am thankful that I found this forum. It has helped in so many ways. I don't feel like I am alone in the daily struggles we all face, even after WLS. So here is me, giving back because I am sure, like me, there is someone out there that needs to see this right at this exact moment. Lots of Love and Good luck to each and every one of you on this journey!

      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.
