Ok this week I decided to up my Water intake. I will see what difference this will make. My Protein intake is steady between 60- 80 sometime higher. My calories usually range from 600 - 1000, Carb are below 60 normally, low fats, sugar and sodium all low. Excerising three to four times a week doing spinning class, walking the treadmill and toning class every now and then. Water seems to be my weak area. Just trying to keep myself motivated. I know I will get there. ALL THE JUNIES seems to be doing wonderful you all keep up the good work.

So today I turn 39 and feel like I'm just really starting to live life. Went shopping last night for a dress to wear tonight and what an experience. I've lost 72 pounds so far and just can't register how much smaller I am. I guess it takes the brain a minute to catch up to the changes. I am now in a size 14 dress from my all time high of size 22--that's four dress sizes! I was amazed and didn't leave the store depressed over that fact that nothing fit. I can see how people transfer their food addiction to a shopping addication :) Thanks for all the support you guys show on this board it really helps!

I feel like I'm making the wrong choices lately. Today I had three French fries and the other day at my brothers birthday lunch I went crazy and had like 8 sweet potato fries and some lemon soufflé cake. It so hard to say no to things sometimes. The head hunger is really starting to kick in and it's amazing how powerful it is. I know tomorrow's another day and I can always start over but I just wish I could get over it and for it not to present ALL THE TIME. This is the hardest thing I've ever done. Thanks for listening to me vent.

Sweet potato fries are ok as long as they are baked.

I do understand what you talking about, most of us do understand. It's hard sometimes, fighting the temptation, an addiction we once had, most of us opted for surgery to run away from it, the drama it caused in our life that contributed to our sicknesses, it's amazing how it keeps chasing you.. I been eating a lot of sunflower seeds, Doritoes, I even had one toll house chocolate chip and walnut cookie, I had baked it for my husband, the smell, I couldn't help it, I'm lucky I didn't dump, this lets me know I've got to be stronger, tougher, we can do this so don't feel guilty for a slip up.

      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.
