Love your post and congrats on not only "getting through" the first 3 months but getting through it with an amazing attitude and grace and peacefulness! I think attitude is everything!!!

I love what you said about celebrating each and every pound ....that is SO true and sometimes we forget to do that. Also I totally 100% with you about this being a journey, I have often said, one foot in front of the other, every day, every pound, we are marching towards a healthier life. Are we going to sometimes stumble on the way? Yep! Are we going to need our sleeve sisters and brothers help us when we sometimes forget the journey and get wrapped up in the little things? Yep! That is what I love about this place, it reminds me that we are not alone on this journey and we are here to help each other through the rough Patches and Celebrate the good times.

Today, Irene, I am celebrating with you and happy that you are rocking that sleeve! Thanks for your wonderful post and congrats on where you are right now!

~Sheila

      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.
