Greetings, all,

I hit my first 50 lbs. gone this morning, and I wanted to post and say THANK YOU so much to all of you who have supported me through the process thus far. I realized looking over my posts that I most often post when something isn't going well, so I really feel it's important to also post to say thank you when things are going better.

Aside from my surgery and becoming a healthier me, one of my goals for this year was to become more generous of spirit and to show an attitude of gratitude far more often than I do (which is especially fitting considering the season we're heading into). Feel free to share if you have anything you're happy about or thankful for, as shared joy is multiplied and shared sorrow is lessened.

Have a great weekend!

Tara :)

I am so thankful for all the people on this site. I am especially thankful for my good health and skinniness. I love that I can only eat small portions of food. :)

I love this topic & I try to maintain this attitude every day. I am thankful to be able to walk & move without as much pain, and to be able to exercise my body so it can grow stronger. I'm grateful for the friends I have made along this path, and for the inspiration, motivation, and giggles they provide every day.

      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.
