Take lots of walks on the beach. Anytime you start to feel tempted, walk away and go for a walk. You will be fine, enjoy your vacation.

the only thing i can say is (if you want to eat junk food or cheap fast/slider food, just dont do it). think of what you have done so far to get here......is it worth it to eat potato chips or mcdonalds? is it??

no i dont think so. this is a mind game. you either choose to eat healthy or you dont.

and you know i will kick your butt if you screw up

I live about 30 min from Galveston and there is some fabulous seafood there that you can eat and not feel guilty!

Just remember everything grilled!

Stay away from bread and sugar!

Order any fish, shrimp, crab, etc with veggies

Try to ask for no butter or salt when you can

Use my fitness pal or lookup calories on the restaurants website.

      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.
