1 day before I start my PreOp liquid Diet

7 days Until my Trip

10 days Until my Surgery

9-5-09

Life has a funny way of working?.

People unexpectedly pop into your life

that you never thought you would see again?

I feel happier these days, even more confident then I have in years?

Not afraid to be who I am? excited to think of who I will become?

food Funeral

For as long as I can remember you were there.

You comforted me when I was sad, lonely, bored, depressed.

You held my hand when I was happy;

you were by my side when I was in love.

You laid next to me when I was heartbroken.

You saw me through my worse,

You rewarded me through my best.

But now its time to let you go, and put my dependency for you to rest.

I don?t need you as much as you think I do.

I will not be weak, I will not give into your temptation

The only cravings I will desire is to love myself

The only hungry I will feel is the hunger for success and self assurance

I will no longer look at you as a temporary solution to a complicated emotion

Rather a tool that gives me energy to live a productive life full of devotion

I say farewell to the lonely days that I filled my mouth with meaningless garbage

The evenings where I embraced that second or third helping.

To those nights where I tossed and turned uncomfortably extended

looking at the ceiling emotionally suspended.

I don?t hate you, but I cant count on you to feed my emotions.

I cant count on you to fill the voids that should be filled with motivation, and determination The cracks and crevices that should flow with desire and inspiration.

I don?t want to WANT you I want to NEED you

To give me the energy I need to persevere to enjoy life with out this addiction, And to finally see clear?.

      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.
