Hey guys,

Im back again! Im happy this came back up again cuz I was wondering how Brittany is doing and for myself STILL struggling and losing weight, BUT the holidays KILLED me and Im fighting back HARD! I gained a WHOPPING 14.8 lbs and I am officially back on track and lost that weight within a week! Doing right and doing the Braggs Apple Cider vinegar shot! I am need of someone to help me with some motivation! NO one in my life understands my struggle! My guy eats what he wants and is fine with what he does, BUT its a REAL life struggle for me to get motivated and get into this gym and have this weight off and get to my goal! Are there any REAL life people thats looking for a "Buddy" to help along the way!?

      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.
