Talofa from Washington Wow you look awesome [emoji1433] I am actually going to have my last dietitian visit January 24th. It’s starting to become real for me. I am starting to get nervous and a little scared but can’t to see where this journey takes me. Seeing your progress makes so happy to see what’s to come.

Talofa Celia! It is scary for sure, I felt the same way right up until I was being pushed into the operating room. Find peace and remind yourself of all the wondeful reasons you need this. Whether it is your health, for your kids, or whatever, always keep those reasons in your thoughts. As soon as they give you anesthesia, you literally knock out and wake up to wondering how quickly it went by! Just like that, you are ready for the next phase of recovery and on the road to the new you! It will be hard at times but you will constantly learn more about yourself, what you are capable of, and take pride in the new you that is emerging. Your confidence will skyrocket and you will feel giddy every time you step on that scale and you have dropped some pounds! I can go on and on but keeping it short, you are almost there girl! Manuia lau ta'otoga ma ia fa'atasi le Atua ma oe! Final advice, get a fitbit or some kind of tracker and if no other exercise...walk, walk, walk!

Aloha[emoji4]

Thank you so much for the encouraging words it’s nice to see another polys progress. It gives me more motivation I really appreciate it. I do have a Fitbit and I am trying to get more walking in before surgery. I look forward to one day sending out a wonderful update like yours.

      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.
