Pity party for one please.

Some nights I just want to cry. I cannot wait for my body to be good. I'm over this sciatica pain, hip pain, foot pain and toe arthritis. It's so frustrating knowing I have so much to go on my journey but I know in the end the wait will be worth it. I just hate being in pain.

Rant over. Carry on.

I hear ya. The main thing that confirmed my decision for surgery is my knee pain.

On the bright side, you're on the right path to get where you want to be, and even though it will take time to get there, it will be so rewarding !

That's the one thing I'm worried about the most. My mommy had to have surgeries on her knees around her mid/late 40's. She's always been a big girl, but she's been consistently doing Water aerobics every single day for the last 8/9 years. She still has to use a walker or a cane, and she's only in her 60's. So, I want to get this weight thing under control now. I love my mom but I don't want to "walk a mile in her shoes".

Also I feel better this morning :).

      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.
