Thanksgiving Challenge And My Thank You To Bea!



Recommended Posts

So, I did the Halloween Challenge and exceeded my goal which I was absolutely joyful for. The challenge not only allowed me to actually track and see what I am doing (didn't really watch it this way before) but it gave me a focus and a goal that made it fun with all my forum sleeving friends. I am now doing the Thanksgiving Challenge and fingers crossed I should make that goal. If not I will be close.......this was a short one. I will give it my best!!

Yesterday I went to Sam's with my daughter to pick up some needed items. As a rule sweets don't rule over me. In fact, most of the time I can turn a dessert down with little effort but put an appetizer in front of me and that is a killer! Anyway.........As we were going through the bakery section I had the most overwhelming desire to buy and eat all of it!!!!! I was actually dropping the f bomb as I walked through the stuff!!! It must of been a momentary mental breakdown!! I didn't buy any of it but I sure did swear my way through it!!

You know what came into my mind first and foremost?????? My Thanksgiving Challenge and making my goal!!! I want to thank you Bea for caring about all of us and spending your time to help us make our sleeves successful with a bit of fun added in it!! You weren't with me yesterday but you were! Today, I am sitting here another pound lighter and feeling a sense of accomplishment because I didn't partake of the yummy badness that was tempting me yesterday. You have spent your time each week updating our charts and cheering each of us on. I know I speak for many of us in thanking you for everything you have done for us!! I can't wait to start the New Years one!!

Your the best Bea!!! :) :) :)

      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.
