I won't be leaving the board, I want to continue my journey in here so I can help others and little things like leaving the board are bad for me, I used to be satisfied being COMPLACENT..... Thank you, my wife is working so hard at school that I want to support her any way necessary, she will go farther than I ever did and I'm not gonna let anything get in her way, including me!!!! Lol

Congratulations on your retirement, weight loss and the other changes you are making for 2016. I'm with you on not making resolutions. JUST DO IT! That's what I say.

(P.S: I resolve not to resolve- is that a resolution?)

Happy 2016

Congrats. It is amazing how much better we feel as we shed the pounds. We get more energy, more ambition and once we start living a healthier lifestyle, it is incredible.

I'm only 32, but I've always been told retirement is another word for working more. :)

Good luck.

      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.
