First off let me begin by saying I live with my 74 yr old mom yes partially because she needs me but mostly because I got divorced a yr and half ago and had nowhere to go at the time so I moved in with her 7 mos ago. Ok, on to my happy choice. The other night she was on the phone and I overheard her telling someone "yea I bought these blond oreo's with birthday icing filling with sprinkles" and I blurted out "MOM!" "You didn't tell me, how could you?" She laughed and said oh I hid them from you, we both cracked up. Ok moving on to today, after lunch today I wanted something so bad that was sweet, she got up and got herself 2 Cookies and I opted to have fresh cherries and they were oh so good too. I was so proud that I didn't cave in and eat a cookie and even better I didn't feel deprived or tempted.

Happy choice today!

bahaha, you all, I did tell her shame on her. She finally brought them out of hiding and put them in the pantry but I told her if I never try one I won't know what I'm missing and believe me I'm sure I would like them because I love birthday cake icing and I love the regular blond oreos so I told her NO WAY was I gona eat one. Indulged on 1/4 cup of skinny cow ice cream tonight, it was yummy. I see my surgeon tomorrow for a fill, thank goodness as I need the restriction and I can't remember how much I've lost since last month so I'm anxious to see what the verdict is. Not looking forward to getting out tomorrow as it is to be bitter cold and ice is moving in tomorrow night but ready for a fill tomorrow.

      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.
