One thing I'm gona miss this Christmas



Recommended Posts

My mom's famous punch, yes it has Ginger Ale in it so with the carbonation, I'm out! Oh well. She did say she would set some aside for me and let some Ginger Ale go flat so that I could have some of it but it's loaded with calories so I think I will pass. She is making some of my brother's favs that I'm not a fan of so for me I will eat Heavenly Ham, veggies to go along with it that my mom said she would cook for me, of course I will help. One of our family's traditions is a dish called a cheese loaf, yummy, I will have to partake in a small piece of that. She asked me today if I wanted her to make Chex Party Mix and I said nope, don't want it around and she was good with that. She said I had come too far to put a couple of lbs on during Chistmas. I will miss the punch tho. Bahumbug...on the punch.

It sort of expands in your tummy & hurts. My dr suggested that if want a Xmas bubbles to put a pinch of salt in it, it helps it to go flat. Just 1 though. :)

My favorite pecan pineapple cream cheese pie I make. I havent had it in three years but its to die for but not worth the 1000 calories in it for me.

Guess I should add, my head hunger was getting to me last night and I was missing "food items". I will be thankful for my brother and his wife coming in and of course my mom whom I live with, she is 73. However I will always miss my dad, he's been gone 10 yrs due to a massive heart attack and years of obesity until his latter yrs, he died weighing 135, he lost the weight on his own, something I wasn't able to do but now with lap band I can achieve.

      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.
