You look amazing and in just a year! You are doing fantastic. I look forward to seeing your posts on your continuing progress.

If you don't mind, I would like to ask you some questions - feel free to tell me MYOB. :-)

  • What have been your biggest challenges during your journey so far?
  • What types of exercise have you incorporated into your lifestyle?
  • What behavioral changes are you most proud of?

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your mother in law. She sounds like a special lady.

sorry for the late response, got caught up with a few side projects. now to answer your questions:

1) My biggest challenge during the journey, not just post op was the approval process for insurance. I know weird, but you dont understand the headache they were giving me. lol

2) I have incorporated the elliptical for 25 minutes, inclined bike for 15 minutes, and a few leg exercises to help with my left knee issue.

4) My most proud behavioral change has been the knowledge of foods I have gained, to know whats good, whats bad, how much of this is how many calories etc... and the fact that they had me off carbs for 6 months totally made that carb crave disappear.

Hope these help.

      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.
