I don't know what's up, but I have been having stomach cramps on and off for a few days. My tummy feels like a clenched fist sometimes. My trainer thinks it could be gas or related to Constipation. I am going to drink more Water and see if that makes a difference. I also need to take smaller bites when I eat.

Anyway, I went to Trader Joes tonight to get some new foods. Found garlic chicken sausage, frozen eggplant, and turkey meatballs (my fave). Gonna try their greek yogurt and see how it compares to chobani and oikos.

I am going to visit family in Brazil in a month so went swimsuit shopping. Trying on bikinis was a surreal feeling. I didn't have the courage to buy any of them, but it made me feel good.

Hope you are having a fantastic Monday. NEW WEEK, FRESH START!

      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.
