Loss at last, loss at last, Thank God Almighty, Loss at last

So, despite my brain telling me not to, I jumped on the scale this morning. I look down. What do I see? -2 lbs. Could that be right... no way! I step off, get back on, same thing. WOW! I'm days away from being a month away from my surgerversary and I think it takes time to for your mind to catch up with what your body is doing.

I'm happy on this journey now. I'm more present. Not having food on your mind is so freeing. I feel free. In retrospect I can see just how obsessed I was with food, how much it occupied my thoughts.

Its working. You guys were right.

Congrats! Yeah food gone from the mind, priceless! Replace food thoughts with wanting to exercise? not enough time in one day to full fill the desire!

      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.
