B-A-N-D-Y M-O-U-S-E !!!

I feel like I have finally joined the club!! Well the "gang' really. I am back from Ontario...just in time for snow here in Calgary. Feeling OK with some discomfort yet... BUT I have lost 10lbs since surgery on the 27th. I am sure most of this is do to not being able to handle even 1000 cal/d yet.

The good news is I am finally not Class III Morbidly Obese... I have dipped below 40 BMI .... I am now a Class II citizen just plain Obese. I am going from FAT to PHAT. More importantly my diabetes sugar levels are in control and I finally have a sense of some control over my life.

I will post later more details on my surgery but I want to unpack now and catch the Blue Jays game.

P.S. -- I got Sidney Crosby's signature on a peguins jersey...unfortunately I had to buy a jersey for him to sign as I had mine stolen from my rental car prior to game. Oh well....

God Bless and thanks to all those well wishers!!!

      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.
