Well all, it's been fun. I'm sitting here realizing that my notifications keep going off on topics I personally have started, replied to, or have followed. And don't get me wrong- I've enjoyed "most" of them.

But, I'm finding that I personally am spending way too much time reading, posting, or replying to things, instead of getting things done here- in real life- which is kinda ridiculous.

I'll pop in from time to time to see "what's up", and there are several of you on the FB group I started and am still active in.

I wish you all the BEST success and a healthy journey! You've got this! Just follow your plan, make good choices, and enjoy your new life and lease on it.

Hugs to all,

Lisa

I understand. Is the FB group private? Or secret?

I took a break for 1 1/2 years. Best thing I did for myself. I went walking on the beach, I collected shells, I painted, took art classes, quit FB and felt wonderful to leave behind the drama of others' lives, decorated a beach house, and then I decided I needed support to lose the 20 happy pounds I gained back. PEace and happiness to all.

Secret.

Please don't think I am dumb but what is the difference between private and secret? And how do you join?

      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.
