Yo yo dieting loosing and gaining for over 20 years. Standing on my feet for 10 hours a day a feeling the knee and lower back pain along with tired burning feet every night for 7 days. Not wanting to ever look in the mirror. Avoiding going shopping looking for clothes. Avoiding public gatherings every time someone invited me. Not being able to find something that I though would look good on me as far as clothes. Basically I was living a secluded life and shutting people out. I said enough is enough life is going on without me. Everyone seemed happy except me!!!!!! I said the time is now. I'm gonna make a change.

Getting to the point that I not only gave up on me but on my girls. Deciding to let them live with their dad so I could work through my own mental anguish. My crushing my bones under my weight , I now have to finish dealing with surgery on both knees, my neck, and possibly my lower back again. I have always been my own worst enemy. Can I learn to be my own cheerleader too?

      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.
