Happy Feb. 14!



Recommended Posts

I just want to Celebrate my first sleeved Valentines day with you all. It has never been a big holiday for my husband and I, in fact, we decided to celebrate next Friday when we can get seated at a restaurant without the hour and over wait times.

Here are a few things that I was happy about this weekend so far:

The principals at my school bought all the teachers a little 5-piece chocolate box and I didn't feel the need to eat it. I gave it to my husband, but probably won't be eaten by either of us.

I officially fit in even the smallest high school desks now. When I first started I couldn't even fit in the biggest model we had (at least comfortably), and now I fit them all :)

I had to help out with a tournament at my school last night, and I preplanned and packed myself appropriate food. They offered to let me and the other teachers eat in the coaches room where they promised pizza and subs, but I didn't even go back there since I had my shake with me.

This morning I was able to exercise, shop, and make a waffle/sausage/orange juice Breakfast for my husband, enjoy the smell, but didn't feel weird or deprived from not eating it with him. I made myself some veggie sausage for breakfast- lots of Protein and much less fat than the other stuff.

I'm just really thankful for the surgery and for the results I've seen so far and for this group because even when I'm not posting myself, I get so much from reading all the collective knowledge and can-do attitudes on these boards.

Happy February 14th :)

Anybody else have things they're thankful for or proud of today?

Happy Valentine's Day! Im only 2 weeks out. Me and my boyfriend always go out to our favorite Italian restaurant for way to big a dinner. He was saying he wanted Lasagna really bad. I told him order it in for dinner. He did and I had my little bit of homemade Soup. It was pretty great and I didnt feel any kind of temptation at all. Ive even made dinner a couple times for him earlier this week amd while it smelled great I had no desire to eat any of it.

      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.
