Damn office Birthdays!!



Recommended Posts

OK, I have been really working at my weightloss all weekend, doin really good and then today at work there are 2 birthdays in my area meaning 2 birthday cakes. One is my favorite cookie cake with icing and then the other, which is freakin awesome, it's cake on the bottom, vanilla ice cream in the middle and more cake on the top, then topped with icing. God I wanna die. I WILL NOT EAT CAKE!!! I WILL NOT EAT CAKE!!! It's like people are trying to make this really hard for me today and my caffeine headache will not go away either. I'm on DAY 3 of no caffeine!! Why must my co workers mock me by having their birthdays the day I am trying to be good!! NO CAKE!!

Oh, Kim, I'm so sorry. I know how that feels - CRAPPY!

Keep up the chant "NO CAKE" and have some, uh....yogurt? It's just not the same, is it?

Sorry about your evil coworkers - they should be shot!

Ok, I think it's clear! There is no more cake roaming around and I have not gotten any of it, and was able to turn down all the offers! Phew, that was a tough one! Now only 7 more hours till bed, Sweet Pete this has been a long fighting day!

Think "SWIMSUIT" "SWIMSUIT" "SWIMSUIT"

Somehow the thought of appearing in a swimsuit:omg: makes even CAKE seem less appealing.

Dang office parties - I lost 6# in the month after I quit my job and started working at home again.

Good Luck and Happy Band Journeys To All

      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.
