Are you seriously going to walk into my office and call me a "cheater"???? Because I added a few years to my life? Because I prevented myself from getting diabetes, having heart problems, of death? Your arm was amputated and you wear a prosthetic ... Does that make you a cheater???

He stands there and says, I'm sorry. You look amazing.

You should have snatched his arm off and beat him over the head with it!

Congrats on the cigs, too!

I have had several people at work comment on how "easy this is for you" or "it sure is coming off fast." "Aren't you glad you took the easy way?" (my personal favorite)

I just look at them and say, "care to join me at the gym tonight while I sweat my ass off on the elliptical for 30 minutes and then weight lift for another 45? Or how would you like to join me in eating my 3 oz serving of Protein while surrounded by people in the cafeteria who are eating fried corn dogs, onion rings and homemade chocolate cake?"

That usually shuts them up.

People said that to me after I had a c-section with my first child. Easy way?! I went through 36 hours of labor and at the last moment the doctor came in and said we need to do a c-section. I couldn't even have ice chips for two days after that surgery, I swelled up like a balloon from the IVs and I had an infection in the incision. I cried for three days and begged them to take out the IVs so that I could stop swelling. So they did and punished me with huge needles they shot in my bum that I can still feel to this day. Easy? Slap those people for me.

      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.
