Hi All....I feel like a new person and LOVE my new body. I have lost 70 pounds and am truly enjoying yoga classes and power walking and weight lifting.

I am almost a size 10.....a little snug yet....but 12 fits beautifully.

I feel that at the rate I have lost this weight I will be a size 8 before I know it!

That is of course unless I let food interfere with my plans to be healthy and happy again........as I am a little afraid of what is happening...and what could happen in the next few weeks.

There are soooooooooooo many bad things to eat around at work.......

I am tired after work and have grabbed a burger too in the past few weeks......of course I can only eat half......but still.....and I don't even like it to be honest.....just an old habit creeping back.....

I ate 3.....yes THREE Cookies yesterday at work.

I have not done that since my surgery and it scared me how easy it was to do.

Then the scale said I gained 2 pounds this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

High alert.....sirens and bells.....somebody stop me......

Geez.....

I mean really am I going to gain a bunch of weight just because it is Christmas?????????????

Come on right??????

Sigh......

I have to fight that little voice that stills lives inside of me......telling me I WANT those things.....when I actually don't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back on track tomorrow.....

Anybody else struggling with temptation?

Temptation bothers me the most when I eat too many carbs and don't drink enough Water. If I keep my Water intake good and avoid things like chips and popcorn, it is easier to say no to temptation.

Another trick I use is to check out the calorie count BEFORE eating something. This has stopped me more than once because what I was going to eat wasn't worth the calories that were in it.

      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.
