Love covers all. She did her best. I applaud your mom for that. 😊

Day is good. It's been a long day actually. My knees are currently aching. Not sure why, but I'll be glad when most of this weight is off.

I posted somewhere on bp, my 7 year old exclaimed that she didn't want me to get smaller, she loves me just as I am. Lol. As much as I appreciate and love her, I cannot stay the same. Of course my 4 year just repeats it. 😂

What did ya do today?

You are so sweet. Your kids are so sweet. I basically stayed cause it was raining today but i had 99 grams of Protein today. And i feel more looser but winded

Lol! I'm in south texas, Corpus Christi. My mom is originally from Wichita Falls, Texas....so I learned it from her. 😊 She always made them growing up, especially when we lived in upper Michigan for part of my childhood. Super cold winters and super good hot homemade chicken and dumplings. Yum. It's one of my favorites.

My mom ohh so beautiful makes it with fowl chicken and homemade dumplings. Incredible dish i could never cook like that. She is from N.C.

I bet we can all talk about chicken and dumplings everyday y'all.

Say, anyone find their hormones a bit out of whack? I'm crying over commercials. Smh.

Me either. I thought I was doing good at 20g. I will probably try to drink at least a little more of a Protein Shake before bed so I might make it to 30g.

Yes and it doesn't help that I was thrown into menopause last year with my Hysterectomy. I have noticed my feeling are hurt way too easily the past couple of days. No tears yet, but Iwouldnt be surprised. My grandson always makes a point to ask me if I am crying yet whenever we are watching a sad movie.

Bodies are changing. I guess it's a part of the process. I'm thankful I'm more happy than grumpy though. 😂

Ok. So I got tired of just the tasting of things today. I didn't eat anything of substance at all. Mostly liquids. So, I heated up about 1/8 cup of refried black Beans with some low fat cheese. So delicious. But here's where I'm having to learn what my body is telling me. Feels stuck in my throat, no matter how well I chewed it down. I really want to drink some Water. I have this weird sensation in my belly. Kind of like when carbonated bubbles are bubbling up, I guess. I don't feel like I'm full or stuffed or anything. Content, which is what I am aiming for but I keep burping though, like I did when I was full of gas in the hospital.

I'm counting down to some liquid.

Anyone have muscle cramps or spasms? When I stretch out my left foot my muscle lock up and I am getting a charle horse in the side of my ankle lower leg. It is so painful!, this just started tonight and the only way to make it stop is to get up and walk.

      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.
