Ever since I was sleeved, I've had my "lost" and "to go" marble jars. They sit on my desk at work and are a great reminder each day to do my best. I thought I would share so others could try the same..... It is really a great visual!!

My surgery was January 9 :) I have no idea what I will do when my "to go" jar is empty...maybe add a few more marbles? Hehe. I changed my goal from 115 to 125.

My dear granddaughter ( my only grandchild) took two small fish bowls and tied a yellow ribbon around each one and put 100 clear marbles in and wrote in yellow paint on the fish bowls lbs lost and lbs to go. She gave them to me at the beginning of my journey. I just thought this was so sweet and thoughtful. I have them on my kitchen counter so I see them all the time. A lot of movement at the beginning but sure has slowed down recently.

What a great idea! I'm sure it's a great way to stay motivated, and it is rewarding everytime you get to move some marbles.

I can't take the credit. I got the idea from Pinterest months ago.

I too got the idea from Pinterest! It's an awesome motivator! Haven't been sleeved yet (June 18th) but came in handy staying on track so far. Had a lot of fun decorating mine also!

      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.
