Augh... from the past week I am struggling on eating right. I'm going for my 3rd preoperative weigh in in a week. I'm just frustrated. Stress is high right now. I'm trying to meditate. Extra walking. It's prom season for my daughter. She's going through something emotionally this entire school year and won't talk about. My son is graduating high school and he's off kilter. He's autistic so changes are extremely challenging. Work is difficult. My go to support people are very busy at the moment.

I know I have many blessings in my life. I am very lucky to have people around me that are supportive for the most part.

I'm just frustrated and could use a few bits of encouragement and advice. Thank you

I sure do feel for you! my daughter who graduated Monday has Asperger's Syndrome. She is delightful, but getting her to this point was quite a job!

I am a stress cleaner, so my kitchen looks GREAT!.

You have us now to help be a part of your support system. when you get off track, try to get back on as soon as you can and don't beat yourself up over the slips. try to not choose the worst thing when you get knocked off track. I think the meditation and walking are super choices. I spend part of my lunch break at work listening to quiet music with the lights off, 15-20 minutes and it really helps me let go of the morning yuk from work.

      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.
