i find myself discouraged when i see the scale says i JUST lost one pound. I have to remind myself not to let it define me but it does get hard. Then i saw a visual of what a pound of fat looks like and thought i would share. it helps to see whats coming off and when i think i've lost 57 of these blobs it makes me proud.

I LOVE visualizations like this! My friend and Boot Camp diva made a video showing something similar. A great motivation tool!

it is a great motivation. its also sad that i let myself come to that point when i have to rid my body of so much. but at least we all made the decision to do something about and change for a better and healthier life. good luck to all of you! i honestly don't think i can do it without the support i get from all of you on this site! together, we a stronger!

      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.
