I tried unsweetened almond milk and I thought it tasted horrible lol...wonder what everyone else drinks as well

I am a firm believer that all the artificial sweeteners and all that is bad for you. Eat what is natural. I have the real deal! I've been drinking 2% milk since I was a month out (postoperative.) that almond and soy crap is nasty! To me anyway. I just watch the sugar intake and breads.

Dori, that's great! I know you feel really good about that! Don't wear yourself out though, take care of yourself. Tomorrow is another day, you can focus on eating right then.

Hi y'all!! Been a bit since I have been on. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. I am doing okay minus the insomnia. I have been feeling the hunger coming back in the last few days, which scares me but I guess is normal. I am down 114 lbs now. I can't believe it. I went from a size 30/32 to a 20 in jeans. Everyone in my house is now on a health kick because it was just too hard to do it alone. I craved the bad food everyone was eating. I started showing the people I live with how much they were really eating and they finally understand. I still have some left incision pain now and then. I am so happy with my results up until now. The one thing I want to do more is exercise because I haven't really done that too much. I did in the beginning but not really had much time in the last 5 weeks or so. I have been more actively going out and meeting up with my friends to get me out of the house more since I work from home. I did try an 'adult beverage' and didn't dump, it was my 34th birthday. I even had two bites of scalloped potatoes tonight, no dump. I am still mostly just eating meat and salad. I have a really bad time with grilled pork or chicken but still love seafood and Turkey chili. I am still suffering from insomnia really badly but I think it is just related to the other stressors in my life right now. I am going thru my closet this week and getting rid of all of my "comfort" clothes that I have been hanging on to just in case. Even my shoes don't fit anymore. I am so proud of this group! We are a tough bunch!

      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.
