Rock and a Hard Place

Oh my gosh girl! You really are starting a new life soon! I guess one step at a time. Your going to have to peel those layers one at a time, and shine some light on them and slowly become the new woman that you will be. You will be so rich with experience and yet you have so much more to learn. This is good! Just remember to be kind to yourself and take it slow. Thats what I think anyway. Keep up here, we all want the best for you. Maybe make a list of goals. Perhaps even make a statement of what your purpose in life might be, These will help you stay on track when you feel in a whirlwind sometimes.

My hope is that losing weight... maybe someone I am attracted to will actually be attracted to me back. I too wouldn't be attracted to myself like this so I can't expect anyone else to be. I have been the biggest person (or nearly so) since kindergarten. I have always been isolated so the fear and trust issues are definatly there. When getting hit on so often turned out to be a joke, knowing when it's real is pretty impossible. My biggest fear is that when I reach goal, ppl still won't like me and I won't have the weight to blame. Of course... after all the emotional turmoil we've experienced because of our weight over the years, a little more over our weight loss won't kill us.

      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.
