Looks like we're the only ones around tonight Maddie. Man I love fast food. I know it's crap, but a big juicy bacon cheeseburger and fries. Yum. And taco bell, love it. A footlong subway double meat!!!!

But, everything in moderation eh? Tell yourself you'll reward yourself once a month with a trip to a fast food shack and get back on track with eating right. You don't want to spend money buying fat clothes again do you? If you did it in 2011 you can do it in 2012.

Richard Bach (Jonathan Livingston Seagull) wrote a book called "Illusions". Here's one of my favorite quotes from his book, and I highly recommend it for bandsters. "Ask for your limitations and they're yours".

In other words, If you say you can't, you won't. Enjoy the rest of your holiday and eat right K?

watch the movie "Food, Inc." .... I rarely eat fast food, and when I do I get a subway sandwich, tuna salad with extra lettuce and spinach on 9 grain honey oat.

      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.
