Hello fellow pre and post sleevers!! I fall into the pre category and I'm wondering... What does YOUR positive self-talk sound like? You know, those words you say to yourself to keep on track and going strong. Those things you think or say out loud to defeat the doubt and urges to cheat or give up...

Today is another day to show my strength

I love me...especially a healthy me

Ya know, sappy stuff like that... ;)

Thanks everyone! ♡ Cher

I tell myself this is my time. It's about me and it's ok for me to be selfish and think about myself for once. I'm worth it and this is an investment in myself.

Honestly, I don't need much self talk. All the extra attention keeps me motivated. Not to mention how great I feel now. You couldn't pay me to turn back.

I am worth it.

What kind of example do I want to set for the children I love?

I deserve to be healthy and happy.

Will I feel better after eating this?

Will I feel better after exercising even though I don't want to right now?

I agree with OTR, after a year at goal, I do find it easier to resist the treats. It feels great being skinny and healthy. I love looking in the mirror.

I'm taking a vacation from self-talk since overcoming the greater part of my fat problem. I battled myself constantly for so many years that having my eating in control now is such a relief. Now I am free to think about something other than loving and hating food. I guess I do tell myself, "That was a good move!"

      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.
