So I went shopping with my little girl today, and she wanted to go to more stores, but I was so exhausted after our 2-3 errands. I had to come home to lay down. I did go to a consignment store for a couple of size 16-14 and large skirts (I am a snug 20, so I imagine these staples will fit before too long). I bought the clothes to have a goal, but then when I got I to the car and was so tired, I thought 'forget fitting into the clothes, I want to fit into my life'. Can't wait!!!

When I sit on the floor with my very young ( 2 & 11mo)I think about how much it hurts my hips and back. I want to be able to be healthy for them, I want them to have a mom who can keep up.

i can totally relate to this i have a 5yr old and 2 yr old that always want me to play with them. Unfortuantely i have to sit on the couch and play as the floor is too painful. itll take me forever to get back up.

I had a really similar day today - a bit of grocery shopping, some household chores and I'm utterly exhausted. I've just woken up from a nap and read your post. I can't imagine not feeling like this but also can't wait to not feel like this. Best of luck with your surgery!

      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.
