They say a picture is worth 1000 words, so here's 4000 words;

Not much else to say. I'm doing well and continuing my journey.

I wanted to post this to remind people that it is as or maybe more important to measure.

Every time I get frustrated that the scale hasn't moved I refer to this simple spreadsheet I keep. The number on the scale tell only part of the story. This tells the other.

First, I'm following my program.

My new normal is nothing special. I wake about 3:30 am (just because I do, not because I want to) and I'm out the door for a 2.5-mile walk or 45 min on spin bike. Shower, go to work. Breakfast at about 8 is a pure Protein Bar, packed lunch of whatever was for dinner the night before, another 1.5-mile walk. Get home about 4 pm cook dinner for my wife and I and then another 2.5-mile walk. I'm spent by 9 pm and off to bed I go to start over the next morning.

      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.
