Inspiration of the Day



Recommended Posts

According to Buddhism, the 12 laws of Karma dictate our lives based on what our thoughts, speech, and actions. I'm not a religious person but these helped me today to remind me why I am on this journey.

1. The Great Law: “As you sow, so shall you reap.”

2. The Law of Creation: “What we desire comes through participation.”

3. The Law of Humility: “Refusal to accept what is will still be what is.”

4. The Law of Growth: “Our own growth is above any circumstance.”

5. The Law of Responsibility: “Our lives are of our own doing, nothing else.”

6. The Law of Connection: “Everything in the Universe is connected, both large and small.”

7. The Law of Focus: “One cannot direct attention beyond a single task.”

8. The Law of Hospitality and Giving: “Demonstrating our selflessness shows true intentions.”

9. The Law of Change: “History repeats itself unless changed."

10. The Law of Here and Now: “The Present is all we have.”

11. The Law of Patience and Reward: “Nothing of value is created without a patient mindset.”

12. The Law of Significance and Inspiration: “The best reward is one that contributes to the Whole."

      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.
