No fair! Where do you live, and can I come hang out with you? We've got snow and freezing rain and highs in the 20's for the next week or two. Spring is nowhere in sight. :(

Ok so today I feel better then yesterday and I think I might be headed on the right track :) I stopped at 4 this morning at a local store to see what I might be able to try to eat. I think I figured out my issues from last night. NO MORE MILK FOR ME! None! I drink an 8 oz shake yesterday before work and even with 1/2 % milk , it was hell . I picked you some of those cheese Peanut Butter crackers to see if that would slow things down. Boy was I scared to try those. But all went great. Eat 2 crackers every couple hours and felt much better. I love that I read every label every time now to check for Protein and sugar levels :) I also bought ham and as soon as I get brave enough I am going to do a thin slice of ham with a slice of cheese wrapped in it. Also for the first time this AM I drank alittle too fast and learned my lesson there too! Talk about waves in your pouch . Omgodness! That came back to visit . So I feel like I am going the right direction and couldn't be happier about that :)

If you like milk try almond milk unsweetened its great for shakes and cereals... Watch out for cheese too, white cheeses seem to be better.

So, I'm apparently an easy bariatric patient (not a bad thing!!!) no signs of stricture or obstructions, scars looking great, nothing worrisome at all. He's amazed I'm working full time and running a household single handedly and keeping the kiddo up with soccer, cub scouts, camping, etc. he laughed when I told humid been pretty tired up til now (actually this week things are feeling ALMOST normal). And my weight loss is fine for my age, weight, revision status, etc. I'm not allowed to compare myself to others :). I'm now free to have toasted breads, crackers, brown rice, ground meats, and thinly sliced meats. YAY!!!! So going to buy deli meat tomorrow!!! Would LOVE to get to the point I can get my Protein without a shake a day!!!!!!

      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.
