Not having fun!



Recommended Posts

And who said fun was mandatory in life? Either we react to others or they react to us. We can't turn to food as shelter, we can't smother sorrow in a chocolate layer cake, lay down and give up. Some days you have to walk your blues away, reach out to the world around you, manufacture your own joy. Commit yourself to give, but even more so, commit yourself to live. In helping others you may help yourself also. Don't beat yourself up for your past, today is a new day and commit yourself to the future, no matter what tomorrow brings, you are strong and you can handle it. Give a smile to those you meet or greet along your way, you might be making their day, they might be making yours but they might travel a little way through life with you. Make your own kind of music and relish the song it brings. Take a deep breath, let it out and then go forward one step at a time into life.[emoji13][emoji149][emoji150][emoji151][emoji152][emoji149]

Not having fun? With what? Your work? Your life? Your new post-surgery lifestyle? Easy to get stuck in a rut with all of those. shake it up a bit! Get out and enjoy some sunshine! Go watch the monkeys at the zoo!

      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.
