Let's stay in touch! I'm trying to " stick with the winners" people with a positive outlook. Not that people always need to be positive!

How often did you weigh yourself? I don't want to get obsessive...or depressed if I don't see day to day change.

I have had to force myself not to weigh daily. I tried that the 1st few days I came home and it really was getting to me. I'm mentally only able to do 1x weekly and I'm gonna try to stick to that. It's hard not to be obsessive. I would love to keep in touch with u guys! I feel like alt of positive things have just opened up and I'm finding myself with girlish like happiness as I make all these new steps. I've been reading here for a few weeks and I have to admit before surgery I was a basketcase and just reading things here helped enforce I was making the right decision. :)

yay, welcome girl!

it only gets better from 2 weeks post op, i promise. the first two weeks - def the toughest. i am now at 4 weeks today and i am doing much better.

still struggling with getting my balance right, still tend to eat too fast and little too much and then i suffer!

i was an emotional eater and still tend to want to revert back to it.

so it is a process and a half, but getting better daily, that is just what i want to reassure you about!

welcome!

      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.
