*Thou shall drink at least 8 glasses of Water per day.....hey I do one right!

Thou shall eat a minimum of 70 grams of Protein per day..rarely get it all in...oops

Thou shall honor thy commitment to good health and healthy choices ..most of the time

Thou shall keep thy follow up appointments with thy doctor...always....okay I do 2 of these right!

*Thou shall always take thy vitamins...3 I do three right

*Thou shall not weigh thyself more than once per week.....try once every 2 months.

*Thou shall always keep the memory of the past and hope of the future as a clear image in thy mind..I like this one!

I never get bogged down in the diet aspect of this program. I failed at dieting...been there done that.

I have committed myself to finding the reason for the addiction and am trying to fix it....will take a long time.

I work every day to like myself and see the good in me.

I look at each new day as a new gift at life now.

I forgive myself when I make mistakes. that is a hard one but I do not obsess about that anymore.

I have decided that I will work to have a better stronger body..through exercise.

That's all I can think of right now!

  1. Eat Protein first

Never drink fluids 30min before, 30min after a meal

Eat 0.5g protein per lb lean body mass (100-110g protein for me)

Track all intake and exercise (aim for 1000kcal daily - when full stop)

Eat slowly (my primary issue - pacing myself is a problem)

Drink at least 80 oz Water daily

Relax, I got unhealthy over 25+ years, 1-2 years to lose the fat and get healthy is ok

Make the changes permanent - if it is a short term thing don't do it until I am mentally prepared to do so

Move daily but don't obsess

Fix the head, the body will follow

      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.
