Today I Am Thankful For.....



Recommended Posts

So, we should be thankful for all things all the time, but our thankfulness (or lack thereof) is being highlighted this week in celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday. Right now, I am thankful for:

Jesus, my Lord and Savior

My husband (not hubby ;) )

My children

My mom

Having just lost 100 pounds

Sleeve Surgery

Dr. Kim, my awesome surgeon

The fact that I can't keep clothes in my closet that fit me

New shoes that fit me for my birthday

My husband's new job in Florida

Being sick for a week (i got some rest)

My messy house (it means i have "stuff" and a house)

Piles of laundry (i have a family that wears them)

Beautiful fall weather

God being in control of all things.

      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.
