In honor of Mother's Day, I thought it would be fun to share some stories about how your surgery has improved your relationship and time with your kiddos. What are some things you were unable to do before surgery which you (and your kiddos) enjoy doing now?

I have no children myself and I'm in early stages of surgery approval, but I love reading non-scale victories and MOMMY VICTORIES are my favorite!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy Mother's Day to all!! My kids are grown (34 & 31) but I am hoping that someday there will be grandkids and I will be able to run & play with them. I am hoping that I'll be able to 'help out' by taking care of any grandkids a few days a week so my kids (that includes my children's spouses) can work without the concern of paying for daycare at least 2-3 days a week.

It's soooooo much easier to get on the floor and get back up again since I've lost weight.

enjoy the day everyone - every day actually!!

      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.
