Changing your addiction. When changing your addiction from food to something else... What did you change it to?

I'm hoping it's to health improvement related type stuff.

I'm 4 weeks out of surgery now. Starting to lose while on real food. Have an appointment with my primary doc tomorrow where I'll get bp meds removed or at least modified. I'm going to request a sleep study so I can take advantage of the newer C-PAP & BiPAP machines.....I'm going to upgrade my mattress in the near future. Last two days have seen me double my step counter readings and I'll begin the gym this weekend.

Hoping the only addiction I have from now on is one improving my health and thriving.

Haha- I just posted on another topic that I am addicted to Listerine breath spray. It keeps my mouth moist while I am waiting to drink after I eat.

I also find that I am addicted to nail polish- seriously have to quit buying it for awhile.

All joking aside (except I really do love nail polish); one my new addictions is kayaking. Absolutely love it.

Mascara is my new addiction for now. I have never been one to apply much of it in the past. But since receiving compliments from my roommate I have been putting it on before stepping out the house. post-265510-14474067249836_thumb.jpg

      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.
