Hey Guys,

I know I haven't posted in a while... I went back to work 2 weeks ago and I've been exhausted.... so, no, I haven't been neglecting you... LOL... I've been trying to sleep!!! I've been feeling great.. the scale has started moving (Thank God!!)... This is a list of my NSVs to date:

  • I can comfortably wear a 22/24 from a 30/32
  • My lower back pain has decreased considerably
  • I can walk around for hours w/o breathing trouble or exhaustion
  • At church, I can slide right into the pew without holding in my stomach (YEAH!!)
  • I can sit in my students' desks without getting stuck or struggling.. I just slide right in!
  • I feel like my old, confident self (pre-back/foot injury)
  • I'm willing to share my journey with others freely!!!
  • I love, love, love my Sleevina

Have a great day guys!!!

      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.
