Any Oct 6 Sleevers out there?

I've been in New Orleans for nearly a week. Love the city and the food is unbelievably fantastic. I am a New Yorker and hands down, this is the best food I've had... EVER!!

I was very careful at first but it is getting harder and I had a few slip-ups. Some were big.

My resolution is to not sabotage myself. I've been 'dieting' for over 40 years. This surgery was a last resort AND I had to pay every penny myself since my insurance did not have bariatric benefits.

I pray that I can do this.

Well stated Marcia. Some of mine are to keep good care of my health. Workout six days a week for one hour. Like you Marcia to know that I am ok by myself and to stop dating trashy women. It used to be men just wanted sex but now it's the women who are the aggressors.

haha! Here is to a healthy 2016!

i am pretty sure this t resort for each of us. thank heavens we have each other. we are all human. Just remember that the only difference between a success and failure is the amount of times the successful person got up, dusted themselves off and tried again. Even if we have a blip--we just need to get back on track as soon as possible. And forgive ourselves. That is the biggest thing. Realizing that we aren't perfect but that is OK but we are amazing! Don't forget that, Shakti!

Shakti a couple failures does not define you as a person. Don't let negative thought take over. Every day a sunrise happens and gives us new hope! We all love and care about you.????

Shakti don't beat yourself up. It is going to happen. It is OK to slip up. . My dr told me that if I really thought I was craving something to just have it but be smart and in moderation

Happy New year! 2015 is just about in the books and was a good year for the Holland family and especially me! I'm down 30 pounds in 12 weeks and feel great about myself, instead of feeling miserable that I gained another 5-10 pounds over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.

I look forward to 2016 and all the changes it has in store for me. I expect to not only see onederland but to reach my ultimate goal. I expect when I list my house on the market in he coming few weeks it will sell in a timely manner. When school is out June 3rd my 8 year old son and I will join my husband and 17 year old daughter in our 32foot RV until we find our dream house. And lastly I expect to start my new career as a teacher in the 2016-17 school year. Yes 2016 is going to be a good one!

My resolutions are simple... To enjoy life now, and not when I'm thinner and to get back to a regular exercise routine.

Usually my resolutions are to give up smoking and drinking (because I do neither it's simple ;) but these are simple too!

Be blessed with health and happiness in 2016 my friends!

Catherine

      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.
