I will try no guarantee. I'm also afraid back of my mind of getting fat again. I love my self in tiny package. I Hate the person I was before.

I think we all can relate. But losing too much weight is something to be wary of as well. If I recall correctly (big if lol), you said in one of your posts that your doctor set a goal weight for you somewhere around 130 to 140. At 105 you're 25+ pounds below that. That's a lot - some might suggest too much. The only way you're going to gain confidence in your ability to control your weight is to test it. Experiment. Nice and easy - minor adjustments.

Your food log is the absolute perfect tool for doing just that. Use it! You will very quickly discover that you absolutely can precisely control your weight - up, down or maintaining. Your confidence will soar. It's all about confidence and control, not fear and denial. You can do this and you'll be oh so glad you did!!

I will try it starting over next week Monday :) I increase the calorie intake to 1300 and lets see what happens. I'm making better decisions in food intake. Real food gets me fuller for longer then having a snack & then keep snacking on healthy but not so full feeling food. I have to try to make better plans to stick to it.

      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.
