Okay, vent of the week time...

And this one is my fault. I need to buy a tape measure so I can feel better about this but it drives me a bit bonkers when I can tell I am losing weight (I can see it in different parts of my body) but then I get on the scale...and...NOPE...nothin! Not budging.

I read up on the phenom to identify why this happens and I understand Water is a key player in this and here is confession #2: did not get enough water AT ALL this week due to being out of town at a conference. BLURGH.

Ok, so i'm going to keep on keepin' on - did great today (so far) with Protein and water. Trying to be patient and keep it one day at a time. The scale is my nemesis! One of these days I'm going to chuck that stinking thing out...someday...

I'm also hoping to go to el doctor and get antibiotics to kill of the h.pylori in my gut. I have certainly noticed that I don't lose weight at nearly the same rate as I used to and I can certainly do without the bloating, etc. it causes.

Carry on! Thanks for letting me vent.

Anyone up for a group hug?? ;)

      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.
