Im waiting for that person who went on a rant about smoking to pop up and give lectures. ................. And..... They have electronic cigarrettes called blu, avail in drug stores. I never smoked cigs or pot so my addiction isnt severe. Good luck ladies :)

I know but they're just not as satisfying and some of them still have all the bad stuff in em! lol :)

I confess that at 7 weeks I feel as if I'm finally starting to get the hang of this. Then again, maybe not.

I confess that my husband has all of a sudden had a change of heart and thinks I'm the greatest thing in the world. My confession? The feeling isn't mutual. I've put up with this stuff for years now and I've reached my limit. I just have no idea what the next step is.

I confess that noticing (finally!) small changes are terrific motivators to keep going!

I confess to still drinking pickle juice almost daily.

I love the response to this thread I started - I have laughed so hard at the similarities we all share.

I have found a few more of my own -

folding my clothes is easier as they are so much smaller -

My feet have changed because my pressure points are all different - I have to go see a podiatrist today to have them check it - yuk

I love love love shopping for myself now.

I can borrow my sister's clothes and she has some nice ones.

I am a much happier person to be around.

Thanks to all of you - no one understands the little victories as we do for each other !

I confess:

1. I think about food constantly!

2. I want a frozen burrito I get from the store with sour cream, cheese, and hot sauce so bad I cant stand it!!

3. I miss being able to sit and eat a ton of any food I want and feeling totally satisfied after.

4. I started on soft foods yesterday and feel like I can eat way more than I should be able to and this surgery wont work.

5. I fear I will fail and stay fat and then not be able to eat the amounts I used to and be just as miserable as I am being fat.

6. I still wonder everyday if I made the right choice or should I have given "dieting" one last chance.

7. I am 15 days post op and have no trouble drinking liquids but still do not get even close to 64 ounces of Fluid a day much less Protein.

8. I hate Protein drinks!!

9. I fear when I lose weight I still wont have many friends and still have no love life and never have any of the dreams for my life come true.

I have always heard that confesstion was good for the soul...

1. I confess that I forget to take my vitamins…a lot.

2. I confess I never drink the required amount of water…like ever.

3. I confess I drink caffeinated coffee every day, and I love it.

4. I confess I drink from a straw.

5. I confess I ate some Wendy’s fries the other day, and they were damn good.

6. I confess that I look into the mirror sometimes and wonder who’s looking back at me.

7. I confess that I hate to step on the scale because it might not show a loss.

8. I confess that I went to Victoria’s Secret and did a victory dance when I tried on a “skinny girl bra” and it fit. Not only that I confess that I have DDD’s and love it.

9. I confess that I never knew that a big girl bra was really different then a skinny girl bra. Really.

10. I confess that I really really hate my flabby ass upper arms. Damn things make me think I can take flight.

11. I Confess I hate exercising, it’s like torture.

12. I confess I ate some ice crème this weekend; it was sugar free so I don’t think that’s bad right?

13. I confess that I am starting to hate my best friend for the back handed compliments she is constantly dishing out.

14. I confess that I couldn’t wait to throw out the fat clothes.

15. I confess I hate that the fact that my friends tell me I act different now. That I’m more sensitive.

16. I confess I like it when a hot guy opens a door for me.

17. I confess I stopped twice when I saw my reflection in something and stared longer then I should have.

18. I confess reading over others confessions made me feel better about myself and my situation and my feelings.

19. I confess that also reading them made me feel more normal ;)

      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.
