I'm another one who has read so many of your posts and have found your words to be so encouraging. I am so blessed and delighted to read this today!!! What struck me most was that you have learned to say hello and goodbye with strength and, well, class. Goodbye to a dear friend; goodbye to those who cannot support your choice to make positive change; goodbye to whatever the tornado took. Hello to living and giving and being your best self! That is A LOT to learn in a year!!!

And I haven't even gotten around to your weight loss. Wow. Post those pictures, girl. I'm not the only one here waiting to applaud! Congratulations on learning to live life well. DeterminedGirl.

      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.
