This is the first time I have gone through my clothes since I began my journey. A friend of my mom's daughter has been running clothes and items up to NY and NJ so I decided to donate all my big clothes. It is a shame no one talks about them anymore but truth is a lot of people are really hurting and I am happy to donate my clothes. I absolutely did not even know that I had so much..

I am not sad actually I feel great about it. I had got to the point where I just bought 4pairs of the same back elastic pants. Also had no idea I had so many clothes. I am keeping the first pair of jeans I fit into which are huge. When I need a reminder how far I have Come I put them on. I am really happy that I have the opportunity to help others as others have helped me. The Karma effect.

      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.
