I am on my journey to "Onederland". For those that do not know this is weighing in the one hundreds. I have made this journey several times and have been to this land before. Each time I arrive I swear I will never leave again. I have been there with the lap band, weight watchers and too many others to list. I love Onederland especially the further west I get. I can only remember being 26 miles west or 174. I plan to travel far west this time to 140. I am not going to swear the never leave Onederland again but feel I will be able to stay west with my new frame of mind. I will be 60 in December and I am 5'2". I have a great family and job. I must STOP letting food control my life and get healthy. I want to live to be a sassy old broad. Ha. My daughters are taking me to New York for my 60th birthday in December so my goal is to loose 60 lbs by then. I am down 17 this morning.

I expect to arrive in "Onederland " in the next few days. I will announce my arrival.

So happy for you! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyy! I too am learning to not let food run my life. I am looking at my habits and changing them to the attitude I eat to live, not live to eat. LOL I eat Protein first and then some veggies. I hound my adult children to rid the house of carbs like chips and candy which drives them nuts, but they're lucky to be living here. Live changes are hard to make, but lets face it, with that junk in the house we don't stand a chance in hell at succeeding. And my world is about me with them included in every way they can. Sorry for the rant, but congrats !

      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.
