Nope!! It's a slippery slope for me' date=' especially with sweets. I can't allow myself to cheat, especially at this point, bc who knows where I'll end up! I have NO willpower with sweets and will have to stay away from most altogether to stay on track.

Don't cheat!! You're strong...and you can do this! You're only cheating yourself. Just think long term and put in your mind, the reasons you went through this drastic surgery.

I bought a cute, size 14 dress that I look at, along with a picture of my children when feeling tempted.

Try to distract yourself...you got this, girls!!![/quote']

I will try to do better. I realize i reach for something and don't realize what i am doing out of habit. I am back on track today. Just a little oops along my journey.

Has anyone cheated yet? I had a small cookie tonight while carving pumpkins with my family. I chewed it into nothing before i swallowed.

I haven't had any Cookies yet... I did have a bite of a twizzler. Lol my daughter didn't want it and handed to me and like second nature I bit it then threw the rest out after catching myself.

Worked my first "real" day of work yesterday. It only ended up being 6 hours and I was glad because I was so tired afterwards, but then when I got home of course I got my second wind and didn't get to bed til 10PM. Tonight is the true test I have 3 nights overnight training 10-7AM it won't be as busy lie the day so I can definitely get in my Protein & fluids since it's more relaxed. I just hope I can stay awake. After those 3 nights so glad that I have normal shifts :*) I also got in a 30 minute walk on my break. Found a gym close by, lots of shopping and Tony Romas when I am able to eat real food ;*) My pain is very minimal now, I feel like my incisions are healing well and for the most part I have no interest in real food which is good because I am still so far away from having it. Today I FINALLY picked up the house and did dishes. Now to relax before work.

How is the overnight training going? I finally feel like I am healing now. I only worked a few days last week. I am back to my normal 10 hour days this week. I take a good nap at lunch and feel better than last week. Are you having trouble getting in protein and fluids now that you are back to work?

Thanks! It sounds like so little' date=' but I'm trying to think of every pound lost as a little victory. That's hard to do when I still have almost 100 to go!!! :/[/quote']

I understand! I have 150 pounds to lose. But we're in this together & we'll take it one pound at a time. =)

This has been fairly easy. I'm sick of Protein Shakes, though. They're so sweet!

      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.
