Sorry it has taken me so long to summarize the last meeting. I was out of town again. I have attached PDF's of my Dr's nutrition info. Lots of info. We discovered that some Dr.s don't provide detailed info. Please use as a guide and follow your Dr's instructions.
We also talked about goals and how they should be SMART, see attached pic. If I say I want to run a 5k in 4 weeks and I've never run before, that wouldn't be a SMART goal, not realistic. We can expand on this more later. We also talked about being on track. For example if your goal is to drop weight and you are consistently, then what you are doing is "working", if not then you need to change what you are doing.

I had my first "overeat" meal on my vacation. I had my first hamburger and it was delicious. Well I ate way too much and had to run to the bathroom to toss my Cookies, the rest of the night I felt gross. I learned my lesson. I also ate a bunch of crap I shouldn't be eating. Vacation over, time to clean it all up.
Next meeting August 19 6:30 pm at patio outside Corner Bakery in Lake Forest off El Toro Road in Orchard center. I may not be there but I will give some info. Hopefully after the summer is over we can meet on a more regular basis, like twice a month.

      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.
