Huge milestone for me last night lol...I got out of the shower dried off and decided to see how much further I had before I could wrap the towel around me and it actually close and it already does!!!! I haven't been able to do that since before I got pregnant 3yrs ago !!! I always just dry off and get dressed and don't even try or when I go swimming i just hold the towel in front of me because I don't want to be embarrassed that it won't reach around but now it does and I'm pretty excited haha I know some may not get it but its little things like this that make me feel like I'm on my way!

Since going back to work I have not had a appetite for Breakfast or lunch. So it's a premier shake for both meals.

Thats what I had for two meals today too. I tried a yogurt and some beef Jerky today but didnt finish it all. When I try to eat I just feel like I cant. I have a couple bits and I dont want anymore. I hope this ends soon cuz im sick of shakes too. I ordered some unflavored Protein today so I have something not sweet!

Cant sleep again so I went through my clothes. I actually fit in some of my 18 jeans that I havent worn in 10 yrs or so! I had to go show my daughter. They were even loose in the legs and butt but still a little snug around the waist. By winter I will need all new clothes! Im so excited!

      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.
