The past two days have been birthday celebrations at the office. The executives were chowing down on mini-cheesecakes, Cookies, cake...you get the idea. I partied with ice Water. And you know what? I didn't crave the food, I didn't feel left out, and I didn't feel like everyone was watching me.

Woo hoo for emotional victories!

Kewl dude - or dudette - your profile and name give no indication which :)

good for you Scully

that's a huge NSV - hard to watch people in your office "chow" down with goodies

ps - rootman, if i were a betting person, i would say 5'3 probably refers to a dudette

i know a guy could be vertically challanged too - but i'll take odds that Scully is 5'3 - ok Scully, give us the poop

I look like Gillian Anderson from "The X-Files"; her character was named Scully. I am a girl.

I am pre surgery (November 5th) and am realizing this is going to be one of the harder things for me! We have pot lucks and share lunches all of the time!! Last Friday I ate my 400 cal lunch and was still relaxing when someone brought in 2 large pizzas! argghhh....it was hard but I resisted--- was pretty proud of myself, but looking more forward to where I don't feel left out or crave it!!

Thanks for sharing

      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.
