Hey everyone, I thought I'd pass along this blog I follow. It's called The World According to Eggface. It's filled with lots of great tips, recipes, and giveaways. The blogger had RNY in 2006 and refers to it as having her "guts rearranged," which I love! Haha. She actually lives here in Temecula, CA where I live. You can find it on Facebook, Twitter (@eggface), Pinterest, etc.

Anyway, since we are all starting our new lives this month, I wanted to pass along her latest giveaway. It's a Nike gym bag filled with lots of useful stuff.

Hi all! This is day 8 of my liquid pre op diet and I've lost 10 pounds! Crazy, I'm not hungry, but I miss eating. Sept 11th is my surgery date. It's becoming so real! A little fearful and apprehensive at this point, but reading everyone's posts, even news about complications, helps so much! Thank you all for being right here when I need you!

Hi! Well I'm new here but I am having my surgery on Friday! (the 7th). It feels to me like the whole process was a long waiting game! Lol...probably because I am so excited!!! One week down on two week Protein Shake diet and one to go! Gosh has that been tough!!! But the lights at the end of the tunnel and nothing but blue skies ahead!!! :) wishing everyone the best!!! I hope you all have great support!!! I have come to realize people I thought were my friends say nothing but critical things and snide comments and lots of negativity!!! Just gives me more strength to overcome!!!!

      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.
