Tiny rant ahead proceed with caution:

I want to offer a little insight into my current analogy of my weight loss journey and why i refuse to go back to the way thing were.

I view my former weight ( aka: the evil RJ) as the RMS Titanic. ( thats me :-) hitting an iceberg ( iceberg=RNY) that ship is fading into history and is going down.

I have two choices

1. put on a life jacket and jump in and float and put zero effort into saving myself and as the ship sinks be sucked down with it ( sucked down=revert back to old ways)

2. swim like hell and leave that sinking ship behind me an LIVE to be RESCUED live a long and happy life.

I choose life!!!

PS: I loved that movie

My NUT told me 600-800 calories, carbs under 45g and at least 60g Protein. I don't pay much attention to sodium. I don't have high BP nor do I really add salt to anything anyway. I'm 3 months out. See the surgical team next week. I don't know if they'll change anything.

I keep my calories under 1000...except for tonight because im bummed and fell back on a bad habit. I did have calorie wiggle room fortunately. I will NOT take the hummas chip bag in the livingroom EVER AGAIN!

It been awhile since I've been on this so here's an update I had my surgery June 24th,2013 and I'm on what my 10 week post up and everything going good so far ... Been making alot of slow cooker meals that's been lasting me all week for lunch for work... I have to still remember not to drink right after eating cause ill get that discomfort feeling and have to eventually throw up but other than that I've been doing good... I'm not counting calories (I prolly should) but today my daily menu was a cup of Cereal with 2percent milk, and a string cheese for Breakfast, lunch I had fruit, and honey granola bar, Water Water water, dinner at work I had half cup of chicken pot pie stew without the crust just everything that's in the middle, and ill have alil snack when I get home from work, plus of course my Vitamins.. My only downfall would be potatoes I put them in alot of my Soup and stews. now on another note i don't want to be gross but I've been having trouble going number two I've been having to take laxatives every couple weeks just to go is there a reason should I be eatting more of something to go?? I've doing alot of bike riding and hiking during these summer months ill prolly join the gym comes winter around the corner.. This past Labor Day weekend I went up my uncles mountain house and was doing alot of trails and hiking up his way.

P.s I've been craving the Pasta grrr lol ????

Pre op weight 275lbs

Surgery date weight 6/24/13 258lbs

Current weight as of this morning 9/3/13 200lbs.

I'm doing exactly what I said I would not do! Today while cooking dinner for the gam I munched and 3 hours later I still feel oh so full! I'm so mad at myself! The afternoon s the worst for me!

surgery date 6/11/13 HW: 364lbs. SW: 335.5 CW: 280 GW: 150

Mine is the post dinner nibbles that I'm struggling with. So hard to say no to just a taste or a bite, even though I'm full.

      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.
