Great week you guys!!

It's updated to here. Took me a little longer because low and behold my gallbladder has finally decided it wants out. Well, since I'm not septic I wait. It's been a rough few days to say the least. Today feeling better, so I just chug along, hoping I can eat more than Protein Bars.

It reinforces this tho. The scale can be a great tool. But, it's not the whole picture. Your efforts, your choices each day, your exercise, and your mental game all make the whole picture. So while one any given day, we may feel defeated or run down, or just plain old stressed out....do this. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and hold for 5 seconds, let it go. Your next meal is another chance, the next day is an opportunity to get that cardio or weights in your itching for.

I'm pretty close to my personal goal weight. I hit my surgeons goal already. Each pound I feel it looming closer. Why?? Because then it gets real. For the first time in my adult life, I will not be on a mission to lose weight. Then what?! Quite frankly I'm almost scared to death. But these challenges keep me honest. It keeps me accountable on the days I'd rather not be honest. But I have too. Not for anyone else, or for any other reason other than this...I deserve the truth. Even from myself.

Keep pushing you guys!! Finish the week strong!

Hope you get well Gomekast. I know the feeling with the gallbladder. I've had a stone for 10 years rarely ever bothers me and there is no infection and I was told it's too big to get in my bile duct so no surgery for me unless absolutely necessary.

      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.
