Mine is to do what it takes to get healthy this year, starting with surgery on the 15th.

I was just thinking about this. My resolutions year after year have been to lose weight, get healthy, etc. This year I decided not to make a resolution and stick to what I'm doing! I had RNY on 9/22, down 53 pounds, exercising six days a week and feeling great. I have 47 pounds to goal, and am filled with hope and optimism! Do what works for you, and may all our healthful dreams come true! ❤️????

I've been giving this some thought too. For years, my goal was always to stick to this or that diet; this or that exercise program because it is the latest thing. And by Feb 1st, if not sooner, my resolutions are out the door, I feel that I've failed again.

So, this year I'm starting off with surgery on Dec 30th. From there I am resolving to take it one day at a time and to do everything in my power to make that day count!

I of course have the daily nutrition goals of drinking Water and getting in our Protein and veggies. Also the daily exercise. If we get all that done in a day, BIG WIN! if not, tomorrow is a brand new day!

I agree with what most of what's been said. All of us having surgery right before or right after New Years have one heck of a way breaking in the new year. One day at a time is the best I can do. I don't want to set any goals until I'm physically and mentally ready.

      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.
