I am gonna follow you. Please do the same for me. We will encourage one another. One day at a time. You arent alone nor am I. Thanks for the reminder :)

Now I am gonna go for a walk because I live in Arizona and its only 7:40am....I am hoping it is under 100 degrees.

Chemicalruth, I am also in Arizona. I had my kids unfold my treadmill so I can walk today. I abhor the heat!

Everyone else - thank you for your kind, encouraging words! I feel best in the mornings and my attitude dwindles as the day goes forward.

I finally took some pictures today so I can watch my progress.

I had my surgery the 21st too. I am finally over the gas pains and now I'm just dealing with the pain from the actual surgery. It is very tolerable but aggravating when moving at all. I had the OMG moment yesterday myself but I'm a lot better today. I look forward to the weight loss.

I had my surgery 5/30/13. Since then I have been in the E.R., had my port site get infected with a hematoma. It is still healing and just Thursday I started getting horrible pains in stomach area. So yes I have questioned my decision to do this to myself. I am only 3 weeks in and I am going through it big time. However, I keep telling myself once this is all over with I'll be even stronger. I get down some days but I always remember I did this for a reason. Good luck!!

      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.
