So I had to restart my program with my weight loss center. I'm very upset about it but I might have to wait a year to have the surgery. I didn't pass my psychological. But I've got more fight in me than I've ever had in my life. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do it for everyone I love. But most of all I'm going to do it for myself because I don't want to die at a young age. I don't want to leave my husband all alone depressed because I died. I love my family and they're supporting me. I'm going to do this I'm a fighter and a survivor and a Victor I conquered my fears and I conquered my past I can do this thank you

Take it one day at a time.

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Don't look too far down the road. Just stay in the moment, and take the next best bite. Make the next best decision be one for your future, even when it goes against short term reward, or may include pain and deprivation.

You CAN do this hon!!! Post here a lot and do your research. Look at before/afters! Be inspired. You CAN do this!

      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.
