I've started my preop diet today. I'm starting a week early, but I think that's for the best. This way I have some wiggle room.

I have 16 more days til my VSG in Mexico with Dr. Elias Ortiz. I am beyond excited! I took some time today to really dig deep and think of some non-scale victories. I think they are so beneficial because for my this journey is more than the number on the scale. Its about how I want to feel and the woman I want to be again. Im 31 yrs old and I feel as though I have lost years of my life yoyo dieting. I think a list of NSV's if not only motivating while losing but especially when maintaining so I can remind myself why i dont wanna go backwards. I had a coworker tell me that I dont need to have the surgery and I was highly offended. She is much smaller than me and has never battled with her weight. She does not know my stryggle and will never understand. Anywho... such is life... I'm sharing mine and I would love to read yours.

What a great idea. I get so caught up in the planning, prepping, classes I forget to dig deep and think about what I will be able to accomplish with the weight gone, beyond the obvious of course . Number one for me tho is being able to play longer, harder, goofier with my grand daughter whom I adore.

Surgery on December 29th. So excited!

Just saw this TEDx lecture on how to psych yourself into successful habits by keeping your eye on the prize. If you watch it, I'd love to hear your ideas for how to apply these techniques post-surgery. http://www.ted.com/talks/emily_balcetis_why_some_people_find_exercise_harder_than_others

Well getting sleep in December isn't going to happen. During the removal of my lap band yesterday, I had a minor stress induced heart attack. Now I have to deal with rehab and a new diet to get my heart strong again, before they will even consider surgery.

      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.
