Hi everyone. I've been MIA for a while now. My mother in law was diagnosed with cancer feb 8th and died 2 weeks ago. Been a crazy time. During all this, I feel like I'm slipping. I have fibromyalgia and with stress causes huge flare ups. My first episode since surgery. DOS 1/14/13. Hurt my back, then it was mending and she died and next day I blew it out again, mending then broke my toe day of funeral. So it's been like a month without a workout!! I haven't gained anything, but I'm snacking. Trying new things (like a frosted animal cookies) stupid stuff I shouldn't do.

I need some motivation and reminders of what to eat. Anyone wanna be my support buddy??

I am sorry for your loss.

We all slip up and fall into bad habits.

So journal your food and feelings and get back on tract with Protein Water and distraction when you feel the need to find comfort in food.

I too have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis.

Can u go to the a ymca for water arobics or just to swim around.

Remember God is always up 24/7.

You got this!

      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.
