Slow and steady wins the race my friend! I have no doubt u will make goal. We will be cheering u on right along the way. Also...123lbs is absolutely amazing and nothing to take lightly. That's losing 12 supermodels!!

You are just too funny!

You'll get there, Dori. I think your loss has been astounding; a real testament to your commitment. I have been sidelined by my inability to exercise vigorously, too, but I figure we just have to trust the process. The important thing is for you to heal right now. You got this, my friend. Be well.

Kris

We have been similar in our medical problems and yet we keep on moving. Be well to you too!

Hope all goes well. Hope he is able to get ya fixed. Shopping almost done. Since we have limited space I'm doing a "shoebox" Christmas. I bought a bunch of little tins and filled them with goodies. That's about the extent of my shopping this year. Hope everyone is doing great!!

My goodness! Did it take time for me to get here! I thought my phone was broken or somethin. My rny talk app just wouldnt work anymore one random day! I was so frustrated! Tried to redownload it, but then it disappeared alltogether! And that is when i realised something is amiss. And at last i found you all!

Hiya all! Thanks for the welcoming party hehe ;-)

It is going okish. Still struggling with some mental issues. Thank goodness i cane to realise that i was eating before the op to self-medicate. Big realisation! And thank goodness i dont do that anymore. I am however kinda taking cough Syrup at times to zombify my anxiety a bit.

I know it is not good and very unhealthy. But i am trying to get theough it. This journey is one step at a time. Going to my paychiatrist again on monday, so perhaps he'll up my meds and i dont feel the need to self-medicate... Let's hope and pray for that.

Furthermore my country is in mourning for losing our greatest son, Nelson Mandela. I am quite distraught, as is all my fellow countrymen.

I missed you girls so much!

Glad you are going back to the psychiatrist and that you have had some break throughs. It is hard when we KNOW we shouldn't do something but just can't stop from doing it. Keep working on it; you will find a place where you can enjoy life again.

My condolences on the loss of a great leader.

Thinking of you my friend! ;)

      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.
