Don't feel bad. I'm barely above the BMI cutoff to have surgery and today my doc told me to not lose anymore weight. He said I could eat a regular dinner tonight and tomorrow but I didn't do it because I don't want to. Weird, right? I am afraid it will make me overdo it. So I had an extra greek yogurt and will add a fourth shake to my days. Ugh.

Omg. I feel like I'd be so torn on that. Yes go out on a high (food coma) note, or be a food kid and follow my diet... Oh god. The angel and devil on my shoulder would have a good fight about that!!

And I cooked dinner! My meatloaf. I had a few bites but didn't have a full meal. A few bites of meat, then yogurt and a shake. I know I will overdo it if I give in.

What's crazy is that now that I'm detoxes of sugar, caffein and carbs I'd be leery of having them again Bc of the dang headaches. They were bad. It was such a sickening headache. But I'd have prolly had a huge steak. Lol

I'm so proud. And F if meatloaf doesn't sound like the best thing on the planet. My dad never made me it one last time.. I'm gonna have to have him try turkey meat for me sometime. (He makes the best meatloaf. I won't even bother lol)

I'm at the 35.1 BMI and just eat what I want till surgery. People say you can't have this in the future. I tell them w/in a yr I can have anything if I want it but it will be in much smaller quantities if I will even want them. food is what got me to this size and I sure don't want to get back to this weight ever again.

1 wk from tonight it will be all over and I'll be on the road to a healthy weight. Yahoo!!!!!

I'm also at 35 BMI. Haha. It's a funny place to be in the bariatric surgery world.

But... If the food is what got you here in the first place, why would you want to eat it even in small portions???

Hi Sherry, we've been daydreaming about food. And alcohol.

Yes. I think it's another reason I was paranoid I was doing this diet wrong. Lol. It's just been so "easy!"

:( that sucks! I had one yesterday, but I don't think it had anything to do with detox/this diet.

I'm gonna try my hardest to change from my old eating patterns. From pre-op diet on. When I said goodbye to pastas and breads and potatoes and fast food and fried foods... I meant it. My nutritionist says for long-term, sustained weightloss that I need to walk away. So I am.

      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.
