I love all of the quotes on this post and need to print them all out! I was so stressed before surgery, mine was "You got this!". might need a new one now....

Truly a reinforcing "mantra" for making the right choices even in the face of temptation - "It's what I do."

I'm thinking about getting mine tattooed on me. Just to remind myself.

I like what DLCoggin's says:

"You are going to love the new you!"

Saw a good quote attributed to Bruce Lee today: "A goal is not always meant as something to be reached. Often it is just something to be aimed for."

On your journey your original goal may change or be replaced by one totally different. As we change so do our goals. But the original goal got you started on your way. :-)

I've turned to many things in making the decision to pursue WLS. One that helps me hold onto my courage to get the sleeve in July is:

" Every person dies, not every person truly lives"

I always tell myself, "You did not go through all this to not reach your goals. Keep on going." And, of course, I tell myself how fabulous I'm looking.

      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.
