Another Year Almost Over



Recommended Posts

It's hard to believe that a new year is almost upon us. This has been a very stressful year for me to say the least. I would just like to say that no matter what do not give in to temptations. It is so easy to go back to the bad ways. One cookie can be the deal breaker to sabotage your diet if you love sweets. Love your families and don't consume your life with negative people or situations. What we do today will set the tone for the rest of the week. I hope everyone enjoys their holidays not because of the food but because you are with people you love. I just wanted to throw that out there.

Thank you! Off to a party and a tad nervous. It's a fancy affair -- catered. I'd rather be in the kitchen at this kind of thing. Anyway, I found a sparkly top in my closet that I haven't really worn over the years and clearly this is the only event it will see as it's almost too big. So, my goal for the party is to relax. Breathe. Meet new people and ask them questions -- enjoy the elegance. Have it be not about the food but about the people.

So true I'm hosting my annual Christmas party definitely decreasing the amount of food and sweets I will have I always over cook/buy I can hold 4 more parties with the leftovers. Bought holiday tupperware and zip lock bags To give my friends as they leave with care packages.

I have a game plan for this season but I am human and will make a mistake but I will not sabotage my efforts. I will be happy with maintaining this month but gaining is not an option 1/2 way to goal and want it so bad

      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.
