Thanksgiving Challenge



Recommended Posts

I joined the challenge when it was first started and I didn't see my name on the spreadsheet. start date 11-1 weight 218. Maybe I over looked it but I sure didn't see it.

Hi Irs...to keep the sheet "clean" I usually hide the rows that show people that haven't reported in yet. Once they report in, I make those rows visible again. Your name was on the sheet, but was hidden. You should be showing up now. Thanks (and congrats on your loss this week!)

P.S. I think it's AWESOME that you figured out how to get a ticker in your signature. I tried 1) using the tickers built-in here--there are no working images; 2) using a TickerFactory ticker--my profile page says I can only use a minuscule 250 wide image; 3) removing the image altogether from my signature so I lose that stupid "image missing" logo--no matter what I try, the site automation puts the darn thing back every time. I believe myself to be relatively intelligent and tech-savvy, so you KNOW I'm impressed when someone else figures out a work-around that works. AWESOME! LOL!

      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.
