Doing good here!

The high winds today kicked my allergies into high gear. But other than that had a painting class last night and not missing drinking at all! I had Decaf tea and took Vitamin Water zero squeezed lemonade and had a great time!

Hope everyone is doing great!

I'm doing pretty good! :-) Vitamins are going well. So is Fluid intake. Not where I need to be on Protein but I'm working on it. Trying to keep it consistent. I'm down 15 pounds since surgery. 23 lbs including weight lost pre-op. And people are noticing, which is great and encourages me!

Great semply!

I just picked up a different chewable Vitamin at Vitamin Shoppe, like it so much better than the chewable so got at GNC. And they are for bariatric patients so I'm hoping better. I also picked up Biotin dissolvable dots... Not sure they actually will help with Hair loss but heard about them enough on here figured it couldn't hurt? My nails should be better for taking it at least!

It's my TOM and for 1st time recorded a loss during! However, my cramps are out of this world and cannot take my usual ibuprofen so finally took Tylenol, which only helped for a few hours! Boo my six week appt is next week Monday and I have a few question on what I can take since I've have pretty bad cramps every other month...

I am doing good. My only area of work is getting in enough walking. Semply-I use Isopure Protein. It has 42g of protein in 3.8ounces. It really helps me get in 60-70g.

I'm walking a couple of miles 3 days a week... Probably not ideal, but right now it is what I can do with my schedule. Still not eating 1000 calories, trying to keep the Protein and Water up... Seems to be working. I'm still eating Soups with fish, mashed potatoes and beans... Bit nervous to venture further... Weight loss feels super slow... About 3 pounds in last 2 weeks.

      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.
