Hi guys,

Before my wls, I saw a psychologist who specializes in weight loss. He explained that the urge we feel to eat fatty foods is not necessarily, because we are weak or do not have enough will power. It is actually a physiological mechanism. The fat cells seem to know we are at war with them, in order to try to survive, they send chemical signals to your brain. You are brain relays the message to you saying... eat more fat... eat more fat... So please, let us try not to be so hard on ourselves. There are alot of factors that influence our desires and habits. The fact that we no longer totally and willing submit to those desires is the fantastic. :clap2:

lets hang in there...

When I go to the store someone mysteriously puts Reese's Peanut Butter eggs in my basket. It happens every time. Wish I could find out who the culprit is. :eek:

      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.
