Ok this is a challenge I will put to all of my fellow January Sleeve Buddies. Make a different New Year's resolution instead of just resolving to lose the weight. I'm not saying it's gonna be a piece of cake (poor choice of words?) But if we use this new tool correctly, the weight WILL come of! Yay! So I challenge each and every one of us to think of another area of our lives that might need a little attention and resolve to make it happen! I know that the less time and focus i have to give thought to all of the foods I'm not eating, the better. I know it's only November, and January is still a couple of months away, but i also know we are all chomping at the bit for the New Year and our new lives so lets just share some ideas for now

I am a new member here, and am looking for some people to go through this journey with also. I do not have my official surgery date either, but I am hoping beginning to mid-January. Excited to start the year off right!

I have set a goal to complete one 5k per month starting with a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day. I plan to walk that one but will build on that to run future ones.

      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.
