Hi there every one and happy Labor Day! I have always loved the energy of autumn -- full of possibility. A time to buckle down. And this year having September start off with a Monday is giving me the framework I need get back on track with a little more organization and discipline. I have been a little lackadaisical lately. Too much socializing, too much grazing. I'm happy where I am size-wise for the first time in so many years, but I'm not settling for this. I think I needed to just be with my last loss for a while, to stabilize emotionally, but now I'm ready for the next drop. So here's to a new week, a new month, a fun summer in the rear view mirror and now committing to the next step. I made it into the eighties and now need to get into the seventies. Onward!

Hi Bandsters!

I just took a bike ride. My knees are p!$$3d off but the rest of me is ecstatic.

Being able to chug up a hill without panting is priceless. Being able to coast down a hill is exhilarating.

My personal goal for September is to feed my soul. I'm going to start a thread on the general forum for this.

By the way, this Banders #6 thread definitely feeds my soul. :)

Hello everyone and Happy Labor Day.

Carolina Girl wanted me to tell everyone she won't be blogging for a while, her mother passed away. That is all the details I know.

Have a great week.

Arlene

      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.
