Thought For 11/03/2012



Recommended Posts

Remember that small changes really do make a difference. Healthy eating is simply the result of all the positive decisions you make.

You're the best chad!! Hugs!

Here's some more food for thought...We can reverse years of damage to our bodies by deciding to raise our standards for ourselves, then living differently. Old wounds heal, injuries repair, and the whole system improves with just a few changes in what we put into our bodies and how we move them.

Read that online today. Wanted to share.

Here's one more you that I think given what you've shared about yourself here on VST will strike a cord. I know given my own past, it helps me...

Listen closely: the only time it's too late to change yourself is when you're dead. Until then, you're simply making excuses or lying to yourself.

And we are making great strides to improving ourselves and our lives. To do it right, we have to break life down to the base element. If we cannot care and love ourselves...how can we do so for others and not be a fraud?

I had a macho coworker tell me how brave he thought I was for having surgery. Said he could never do it. It was the best compliment I have received in a long time.

This is our time.

So true I want to be more whole and authentic than ever. We can give what we don't possess ourselves. I am learning to love myself more in the process.

Self care is not selfish.

Hope the same for you!

      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.
