My Journey Starting With Pre Op Diet

[Tawnya777 106]

This is going to be long' date=' so I'll post it over on my journey, except to answer your questions. Telling my husband was a major thing for me. He said that he figured it out. Not surprised, and yes, he still loves me. He's in it for the long haul. Thirty years in June. I do have a lot of support. My children, husband, and believe it or not, my father. lol

I hope to keep in contact with you. You seem like a lifeline kind of person. Very helpful, nice and forthcoming. I need that sharing through this. Thanks. :-)

I know how you feel. My husband and kids had all kinds of goodies and it was hard not to eat them. At first I would crave them so bad, but then the desire just went away. Your welcome. I'm here if you have any questions or just want to vent or talk. Congrats on starting your new journey!!!

Today I just did shakes and a sugar free pudding. I had gained weight from eating stuff I shouldn't have and now it has been up to me to get back on track and so I have without any help from the dietician who still never called me back. I had to stop and think about why I got this surgery and eating the same way I was is not the plan for me to lose weight. I'm back on my treadmill and taking walks with my kids. I lost my focus, but found it again in all of you. I will weigh in tomorrow to see how much I weigh. I can do this!!!

Haven't heard from you? Are you ok? As for me doing ok. Vitamin Water zero for me tastes bad now too sweet and I hate the aftertaste. No more of those for me crystal light works better but I put half packet only on a 16 oz bottle or 1 packet on my 32 oz bottle.im ok with the broth. Anyways looking forward to June 14th for my progression to full liquid diet. I get to change tastes.

Hello. How have you been? How is the liquid diet going? We are going on June so soon you will get to progress your diet. I'm excited for you. I know all liquids can be hard, but you have been doing an awesome job!!! Hope all is well with you.

I cannot imagine the willpower it took for you to not eat that stuff. I'm lucky that hubby isn't a snacker and that I do all the shopping.

Hang in there. Take each day as it comes. I think you have an excellent perception of the whole thing and its good you can look at it that way.

It was hard. I do all the shopping to, but I was extreme couponing and had built up a stock pile of all kinds of goodies. Now I have stopped couponing since we are moving next month and we don't really have anything bad in our house. That's good your husband is not a snacker, mine is

Thanks for checking in!!! Just want to say your so awesome Linda!!!

So I weighed myself on the 31st and I weighed in at 254, I was sad, but happy at the same time. I had gained weight and went up to 259 and wanted to cry. So being at 254 is better than 259. I plan on to keep working on my diet and walking. I'm still waiting for my fill and hope that helps me. I will get down to my 240's if it takes all the strength I have. I love taking my dog for walks and when we move I want to get another dog so I can keep walking. I still use my treadmill, but I feel so much better when I take a walk outside. I can't wait to be able to run on my treadmill again just waiting on the docs approval. When we move I plan on going to the mountains where my mom lives and go hiking and during the winter I like to snowboard. I also want to try to do volunteer work to keep myself busy and moving. I miss my family and I'm so glad we are going to be closer to them and can have their support. I still love all the support I get from all of you and will continue to keep posting. I know I might miss a few days, but I still come back and post. I have been so busy with my kids, getting ready to move, and school.

I will post all about my fill. I hope it's not to painful. Wow 27 pounds, congrats!!! I'm not sure if I still have sleep apnea and I don't know how my cholesterol is. Guess I will have that all checked out when I move. So happy for you.
