Recommended Posts

my eyes are way bigger than my stomach (still)......

Guilt is not what I should feel if I eat a cupcake. ...

123lbs lost is actually great......

If I dont lose any weight 1 week its OK...

Feeling mad sometimes because I still cant eat salads or slaw is OK....

Being able to buy clothes anywhere is nice....

I can walk past Lane Bryant and I do NOT have to shop there!!!!!

The scale is NOT making me its b*tch I made it my b*tch!!!! :)

I enjoy compliments. ....

Being cold ALL of the time sucks!

Whenever I see french fries I smell grease which is a good thing right?

I still want to lose more weight but if I don't its starting to be OK....

Weight day of surgery: 350

Weight today: 224

Surgery date: 6/29/12

Height: 5'9 1/2

      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.
