ANOTHER YEAR!



Recommended Posts

Another year without making the same old NEW YEAR's RESOLUTIONS..... For the second year in a row, I have not made a resolution to start a diet on January 2 or to join a gym on January 2. It's so damn liberating to have that monkey off of my back..... and 150 pounds too. :)

I was thinking today the same thing, this will be my 2nd New Year since being banded. It is so wonderful not to be worried about another diet and what new diet program would try. I will be making food for our annual "pig roast" New Years party at a neighboring farm. I make a great coconut cake and usually a corn casserole . This year I will make the cake too but will probably take something healthier that I can eat. Not going to fret about it and just enjoy the day. We are supposed to have sunny and 70 deg Happy New Year and Healthier Year to everyone

AMEN to that....TV is full of commercials for this and that weight loss.....activity at my gym is increasing much to the personal trainers delight.

Ironic thing is, come March-April all those resolutions will be forgotten. All those "I'm going to do it this time" diets will not be talked about.

I too am so glad to be set free - liberated from all that nonsense.

Lap Band surgery may be the easy way out, but it's forever! Without having to constantly be setting goals, challenges or New Years resolutions.

Just live the new life!

      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.
