That's great. You will do fine. You may or may not hit a few bumpy roads but just keep focused..

I'm a little well allot aggravated at myself!! I went on a little 3day get away n me n the family ate at a few dinner shows n yes i ate BAD!! N.that was 2weeks ago. Ive slacked at logging my food ( plz always log ur food. Its a must) n I've ate past my calories :( I'm not going to stay here! Todays a new day..I'm getting back on tract! I've not lost any in 2wks. So I'm discouraged right now, but it will get better. I'm praying for the Lord to help me eat eat right n.eat clean, no junk in my body. So you see how easy it is to fall back. Don't make this same mistake. :(

I'm doing zumba now. i started Monday..it was fun but hard. Lol if u need any tips i can give you the good, bad n ugly. Lol

Have a blessed 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.
