Channel that energy somewhere!



Recommended Posts

Hey all! Since we are going into this during the most challenging month of the year, what are you all planning to do to channel your energy/focus away from food?

Binge watch my favorite holiday movies and sleep a lot ;) haha but in all seriousness I agree with @sleevesia the focus on my journey and that I'm gonna be having this new amazing life, healthy skinny life! haha is enough to push me through the holidays and think by next holiday we will probably be close or at goal and we will be able to enjoy it but by then we are gonna know our portions and our limits and will get to enjoy all that yummy food and stuff again but in a more better way then just eating everything in site like I'm assuming some of us like myself do especially for the holidays

i start my liquid diet 12/2, surgery 12/16, then two more weeks of liquid... so pretty much the entire month of December will be spent not chewing. <that's CRAZY to me, but i just will focus on the absolute fact that it's just ONE MONTH and not forever and that in a year from now i'll probably half of the size i am today. :) eye on the prize, yo! that, and my girl turns 7 end of December, so i'll get to be home with her during for the holidays and birthday. :)

I watch a lot of youtube videos of fellow sleevers to keep me inspired. even though I want this so bad and won't jeopardize it for anything it's nice to see and hear other people going through it and to see where they have came from to keep you inspired..same as with this forum. :)

      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.
