So sorry you are dealing with such levels of stress. Every season passes whether they are dark seasons or light seasons... Hold on for the end of this one. Prayers for you.

Ah my friend I am all too familiar with family issues and STRESS. It can really take a toll on you and weight loss is not the only way it can get to you.

Though it is much easier to say then to do, please for your own sake take care of yourself. Give yourself a break and show yourself some love.

Even if you have to take a moment or two and lock yourself in the bathroom to take some deep calming breaths, it helps.

Best wishes for you and your family. Stay strong, keep breathing and this too shall pass.

Thinking of you, and relating to S-T-R-E-S-S and hoping things are calming down for you -- the breathing, drinking Water and feeling it on the throat sometimes really helps me. There's a trick of taking a moment to really notice everything -- what's going on inside and out, the sounds, the thoughts that may be all over the place, the temperature, noise, jangled nerves -- all of it. And then equalizing it. Pretty soon I find myself noticing other things, like the sound of the breeze I was missing, my own breath, sometimes a kind of between-the-lines sweetness that is running there along with all the other stuff. The act of just taking a moment to inventory really helps me a lot. Good luck to you!

      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.
