Just felt like getting on today. Feeling great! What is funny is that I want to cook for my family now. Before I didn't want to cook, I guess it was because I knew I would eat it. That is my first revelation.

Went to Target yesterday while the triplets were seeing Harry Potter. Walked around and found a belly band in the maternity section. I tried it this morning and I really like it. It helps me keep my incisions tighter but not too tight.

Vowed to my girls that I will start wearing makeup again. Will have to check my cosmetic bag to see what I have. I gave up wearing it 5 years ago do to time restraints.Now that my mind is more focused on other things rather than food, I can now spruce up a bit.

I have lost twenty lbs total so far. Losing about 1 to 2 a day.

Tuesday is my 8th day post op. I can start yogurt and puddings. Have stocked up on them. Found an organic greek yogurt that has 23 grams of Protein.

By the way, everyone is referencing a loser's bench. Is that a group or just a status?

      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.
