Work starts tomorrow. I'm a little nervous about how to work everything in but I feel confident it will all work out. My lunch/snacks are packed and my supplements are all set up in my pull case. Now someone pray for me please ;)

Biggest thing I have learned since I've been back at work? Do not....ever....think I can have any Snacks at my desk. New rule for me is pack for the day with no contingency nibbles regardless of their health value. Even a small bag of plain chex for dipping hummas must be packed daily versus a sandwich bag that is supposed to last all week. Just getting that confessional out..

Thank you for that great tip. I am one who would pack for the week and gobble it right up on day one! I found a great bento like lunch box last weekend and it helps keep portions small and keep me mindful.

Where did u get the bento-type lunch box? I ordered the actual bento one off Amazon but would like a second one so I don't have to wash that one EVERY night to use the next day. LOL.

I cleaned out my closet today. I got rid of over a third of it. I'm starting a new job on Monday and I have NOTHING to wear except for a few pants that I had. No shirts tho. I'm going to need to go shopping. I just don't know where to go nor do I want to spend a alot of money to just grow out of it. I'm not a huge fan of old navy and the Macy's and target we have are small. Marshall's and tjmaxx are awful here. I swear we get the stuff nobody wants from the bigger stores. Ugh. What to do?

My whine of the day... Lol

      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.
