I used to hate the honesty of children....



Recommended Posts

So I have had two very surprising comments from two young men who I didn't think would ever notice.

My step-son, whom I haven't seen since Christmas (I was sleeved Dec 29) came over last weekend. I was in the kitchen when he first arrived and he walked in, looked at me confused, and told me I looked a lot smaller. Then he proceeded to point out the areas that I have lost weight in. Bless his heart. This is the same child who 3 years ago told me outright that I was fat.

Then today, my sister-in-law and I go to the same gym. I went to say hello to my neice and nephews who were going to the daycare. I said hello to the oldest who is 10 and he also looked at me very puzzled for a few moments and then told me I looked a lot skinnier. Aww... my new favorite nephew.

Aside from the other comments I have received from church members and such, there is nothing like the honesty of a child. When it comes to being fat or skinny, they well tell you like it truly is. That certainly was motivation for my hour and half workout today.

      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.
