I started a new committment to myself yesterday. I started with flushing my system out with Water and I ate a lite Protein dinner last nite. So for the next 9 days I will be doing more drinking than eating . That's what my mouth says (as my bestfriend often tells me:heh: ) It's more about disciplin than anything else, cause I need to prove to myself that I can follow rules for at least 10 days. Yesterday I did a B-. It would've been an A if I had done some excerise, but I went to Church last nite to feed the Spirtual man.

I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. Going into focus mode:huytsao I don't know what that face actually mean, but it reminds me of my youngest son:heh:

I am gaining some confidence along the way!! Yesterday at work the girls were looking at my butt and said that I actually am getting the shape of a butt now and that I needed some smaller uniforms again!! That made me feel really good but a little strange at the same time knowing people were looking at my butt...lol...I need to sit down a little bit more at work...lol

      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.
