I am watching my granddaughter for the first time today since surgery. She is nine months old and is definitely wearing me out lol.

I am determined to get to 70g of Protein today. I am going to make another pot of Soup tonight. I think I will use squash, green Beans, peppers, onions, red potatoes and some smoked turkey sausage. I may throw some in the blender and purée it up good so I can have more than just broth.

Sounds yummy i love the ingredients. I'm up for adoption.

Forget your PCP, I AM EXTREMELY EXCITED you're off BP meds!!! Whoo whoo!!! 😊 Lol

i agree with @Apple1, small goals. What would be your next small goal? Cause you got rid of a med already. 😉

I want to get to 350 and walk more.

I think we should all come up with a small attainable goal at some point. I'd have to think on mine though.

Well, my pants slid on like butter today. It was nice not to have to yank and pull my jeggings up. I'm quite happy about that. Yesterday I wore my jeans, gave me saggy butt pants, already. Ugh. They were so uncomfortable, I had to zip them down (thankfully no one was in the office) because it kept rubbing against my incisions. So, won't be wearing those ever again! Yay!

I like that idea @Newme17. My first goal was to just get through the surgery without major complications. Check! 2nd goal was to stop my diabetes meds. I am not ready to check that one off yet. I want to see what happens when I start eating solid food with a few more carbs. So for right now that is still my goal and also to get out of the 200's.

I tried not to pick her up much because she weighs 22 pounds already. She is a big girl. She will probably be walking in another 2 weeks. She walks holding on to the furniture and crawls all over. I was chasing her Most of the time. She was only here for 3 hours but I am pooped.

Thank you that means a lot i guess believing in myself is sometimes hard when you let yourself down with goals. I am going to push myself slowly.

@Sweet as peaches I think all of us could say the same thing. The solution is to dust ourselves off and get back up. A mistake today doesn't mean tomorrow is over. We got this!!

Whoa baby! Glad you limited yourself. My 4 year old is 29 pounds. 😂 I could see how you might be pooped. Seems you had a good time with her though. Is she your only grand?

My countertops are being installed RIGHT NOW! Yay!

I was hungry, so I decided to try string cheese. Managed 3/4 of it. I think if I had just one more bite I would have been dumping or just felt sick. Otherwise the cheese went down just fine.

      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.
