It's a struggle to be sure those first few holidays. So much of our lives revolve around food... Try and keep things as normal as possible. Stay busy stay focused and concentrate on the new you!!! You got this!!

I'm doing it by making Easter Brunch. I love to cook and make new foods so my family are the test subjects. I get through it by doing the cooking and presenting. I'll make a selection of healthy choices and throw in a couple not so healthy. I'm putting little cards on the buffet by each food with the calorie count per serving. I'm only 4 1/2 weeks out so this is my whay of participating in the meal. It makes me feel good and my family gets excited to see what new foods I can put together.

My whole family is supportive but I don't like them to feel deprived since they don't really need to loose. Last night I made blueberry lemon yogurt drop Cookies... only 35 calories and they loved them.

I still fix anything and everything! I have 3 teens and a husband at home and when I thought about it, if I quit cooking the stuff they liked I was more tempted to cheat. Since I still make their Desserts and foods they like I dont cheat or feel the need to.... smelling it is enough for me and I have even started to branch out and fix different recipes too!

      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.
