I heard this the other day and I love this as an ultimate goal: Eat when we have to and what we should; not when we want to and what tasted good! Wow what a concept huh?

It's funny, as happy as I thought I was when I was heavier, pales in comparison to how happy I actually am now. These 11 points are so true :)

what do you mean you don’t want anything to drink??

Your pants are barely holding on but you’re still holding off to go shopping.

overjoyed at the release of a new Protein bar flavor…or a sale on your favorite Protein Bars.

Quest® has a new flavor?!?!??! Ahhhhh!!!!!!

rejoice at the small things

You smile as you think of how far you’ve come and get excited to think of where you’ll be soon.

Thank you!!!!!! @@B-52 !!

Newly sleeved and still healing, so questioning my choice until reading this - many reasons why I will be glad I did this.

And adding:: Getting on to theme park rides with my very young daughter without being kicked off for not being able to use the safety belt!!!

      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.
