mind over matter

just because its there does not mean we have to eat it....so what if its there. have a piece or two if you want but then stop...nothing is off limits. make smart choices/smart decisions.

this is what i do as we have a table full of candies/cookies/nuts we have sent to us at work not more than 4 feet from me. tempting?

not a chance...

It's going to be a long few weeks for all of us! I know that I love a glass of wine occasionally. I say to myself, which do I want, one cookie//candy/pick your poison, or a glass of wine. To be honest, I find that once I am out of the situation I end up not having the wine even but it gives me something else to focus on at the time. Good luck, it is not going to be easy! I also am planning next summer- so I can focus on something positive.

This is definitely a tough time of the year! I've upped the ante on my exercise to counter those moments when I weaken.

Let's all hang in there together this holiday season!

      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.
