I unfortunately had to go out of town for a funeral 2 weeks ago. I used to work in business management and wore a dress or suit and heels everyday. Not a single one fit and I had to buy a new dress for the service. My sister has gained quite a bit of weight and have me all her smaller stuff that was too small for me before and it's also too big:)

Graceann,

Sorry about the funeral but good news on clothes being too big :-)

The really funny thing to me about sweets is that since I have been detoxed... I don't crave them like I used to. Matter of fact, while in the airport the other day, I smelled Cinnabons at the store and it really made me a little nauseas to think of eating one! What a great feeling that was, because in the past I would love nothing more than a big, gooey cinnamon roll from there! (and I wouldn't want to share!)

I have a test today though. Its the first day of school for my teenager and I always make something special for the afternoon when he comes home. He wants Lemon Pound Cake, like the one they serve at Starbucks. I hope I can pass the test and not taste it!

Hey all you Juners' date=' i have to share this with you.

I work up in a brave mood after purchasing new specs for my ever changing new look. i went cloths shopping in a non- big and tall shop for the first time in 20 years and actually found cloths that fit....shocked the hell out of me.

bought 2 pair of Kaki pants and several polo shits to get me till christmas ....maybe :-)

my cheeks hurt since ive been smiling so much today. i know i still have a long way to go but ill take this victory and savor it for a little while.

im feeling like a bad ass today :-)

I don't have a lot of craving but the ones I do have are always carb based. Whether its really crusty sourdough with butter or birthday cake, carbs are the only thing I crave. However, I have NOT given in to my craving at all. I know if I do I'll be in some serious trouble.

I still struggle with wanting ice cream. I really miss having a meal that looks like a well balanced meal, with all of the food groups represented.

      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.
