I'm having some crazy PmS head hunger today. Was gonna go get some fresh shrimp at the seafood market today then it started raining and hubby & I started watching travel channel. Is been downhill since then. I've craved BBQ,hamburgers, coleslaw, ribs, collard greens, potato salad, Mac & cheese, fried okra,banana pudding, peach cobbler.....I'm a southern girl..there's a reason I got fat!! Luckily I may crave or think I want this stuff but I get to where I don't want to eat or nothing tastes good. Bizarre! Only thing I've enjoyed eating lately is a bacon Tomato sandwich. I think I'd be in trouble if I liked eating again and if I didn't have my small punch. Watched YouTube videos to keep me grounded and focused on the long picture today.

Getting chopping pork shoulder tonight. Prob won't eat a bite or 2 but maybe will satisfy the head hunger of BBQ. Gonna do the sauce on the side. Maybe a tbsp won't kill my tummy. Call it the pre pms weakness. Hubby didn't like it but told him I had to turn the channel!!

Omg so I was looking through some weight charts and they all listed my weight as being overweight instead of obese. Wow to go from morbid obesity to overweight feels amazing !

Yay for being overweight! Good for you. Weird to say huh? Who would think that being overweight would make someone happy? But when your coming from where we were, it is a great accomplishment!

With the carafate and zantac i dont have the razor blade feeling in my pouch anymore. I still have no desire to eat. I could care less. I do nibble on vegetables from the garden.

Excited this morning. Got on the scale and I have lost 66 lbs and have 58 to go to reach my goal. I have lost more than I have left to lose. Here's to hoping the next 16 weeks will be as successful as the first 16.

      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.
