My advice is to practice now. Really. I've had countless times where I've ate too fast and ended up eating too much and having everything come right back up. It's not pretty. Lol. But after awhile, you do get into a routine. You can do it! [emoji4]



Thank you!

I understand! Just had my physical, lost 10 lbs so far on my own. Now I have to make more appointments, get time off of work, write in my good journal, make sure I plan out my meals....trust me it works, but it's exhausting. I think after I'm approved and the appointments slow down, I'll be ok. I haven't much time to myself lately and I'm just tired. I'm not regretkng anything, Its like having a second job!

Constipation sucks, I used to be regular multiple times a day. This is my only complain.

So far my only complaint is that I waited to long to start this process. Back in June I was thinking about how I wanted to do WLS and told some people who talked me out of it. So. MUCH. REGRET. It's okay, I'm sticking to it this time around.

      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.
