Today marks one month that I gave myself a second chance at a normal life :) I'm so excited for this coming year. But for now, I'm thankful for the little changes I feel and see in my body. I haven't weighed myself since my post op appointment and I refuse to until I go back on the 22nd. 10 days after surgery I was down 20 pounds. So I don't know where I'm at now but I'm excited to find out!!

Thanks!! Lol ummm it also helps that I don't have a scale nor do I plan on getting one soon. I just know in the beginning the weight is up and down and I don't want to get all crazy obsessed.

Oh okay! So we're like a week apart. I know the week before my cycle was awful. I felt extra heavy and super bloated. I could see it in my feet and face and everything. I KNOW I wasn't losing then. I hope it's not like that every month :(

I don't have a cycle anymore...(hysterectomy). I still have my ovaries so maybe that's what it is, but idk.

      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.
