I'm just going to be a napping fool until surgery. If I don't have to study anatomy or math, I'm gonna try and nap. Though it isn't too hard, I got home today and fell asleep sitting up on my couch for a good 15-20 minutes. I also find if I let myself be hungry for a little bit, it just goes away on its own.

When I'm in bed, I keep a bottle of Water beside me. If I get a pang I sit up and chug. Lol. I swear I nap all through the day if I'm able. It's getting more difficult Bc I'm trying to move from a crap apt to an actual house march 1 so I'm packing stuff too. Pack, nap.... Pack more, nap.... Lol

Yup. I bring biiiiiiig glass of water to bed with me every night. Mostly cause I'm lazy and don't want to have to go downstairs to get water. But now it's nice for that rogue hunger.

Packing SUCKS. I'm so sorry. But yay for a house!

Y'all are funny. Lmao!!! I've lived in these apartments for almost 5 years. They're bad. Seriously, the pizza guys don't deliver here after dark. Drug deals, etc. so I know it'll be hard after surgery the 18th but I have sons and nephews to do any lifting. All I have to do is my packing.

Are you guzzling at night too, Jencovi?

I have three liters of Water on my bedside table and I'm fighting hunger as I lay here in bed on my ipad. Which is about to run out of battery. Haha. I may HAVE to sleep. Lol.

No!!! Charge it!!! Lol

Are you getting lots and lots of Protein and very little carbs? I found the more protein I get the less hunger I have. I'm getting at least 100g protein a day. I checked and I'm in ketosis so I'm burning fat too, which is why my scale keeps going down each day.

Overall yes. But today wasn't my best day. I'm almost ten pounds down so yay for that. I think I will turn in soon. I have to go to a funeral tomorrow :( It's for my best friend's grandpa so it'll be a long day and I will have to fight the temptation to eat at the reception after. Ugh.

I will. I'm also taking a huge bottle of Water and a shake in an insulated cup. Yes. I will look strange and I'm okay with that.

I'm going out to dinner with my BFF (and friends) for her birthday tomorrow. I will be sitting there enjoying my ProtiDiet concentrate in water and a Protein Shake. I'll look weird not eating, but I don't care! I just hope the restaurant aren't dicks about it.

Hi Superfatty, you're soon gonna have to change that screen name to Superskinny!

Thanks for clarifying -- for ggdrop on my behalf that Yes - It was only on Tues. night - my 1st night home after 2/3 surgery that I suffered with my bed.

Also, pill swallowing wasn't nearly as painful as feared. Jello is a great trick. Just wrap the pill in jello, tilt your head back and place the little blob toward the back of your tongue. It slides right down once ya get the hang of it! ????

cwang, thanks for all your sweet notes. I don't mind your references to Jesus - but please understand that I happen to be Jewish, so it's better not to assume that everyone is a Christian. G-d bless.

I'm excited to move from Stage 1 (clear liquids) to Stage 2 (full liquids) tomorrow! Lost 17 lbs. since HW and 8 are just since 2/3 surgery! So proud of myself. Haven't been on all liquids for this long since my tonsilectomy at age 17!

I'd totally lie if they are dicks. I'd say "I'm sick and this has anti nausea medicine in it. The alternative is throwing up. I didn't want to make your customers think the food made me sick". Just sayin

      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.
