Holding true to my commitment of eating better upon my return from vacation. I'm sitting here snacking on a Tomato instead of my usual afternoon chocolate donuts! :P

Speaking of food...

I'm still committed to not telling anyone about my surgery, but I do have a change at work I have to manage. Right now I sit in an office and in a completely different building that all the people that I work with on a daily basis. In the next month or two we'll all be consolidated and I'll not only be sitting with my peers, but will also have to move to a cubicle. So, I can no longer hide what I'm eating behind a door. Not that anyone will really be watching what I eat post-op, but it just makes me self conscious about it and maybe a little harder to hide my surgery.

Our department snack station is located in my cubicle, because I’ve got extra space. My manager already knew of my surgery plans, but today I sent a team email that said, “as some of you know, but most of you don’t, I’m having gastric bypass next week. So- is it cool if we relocate the Snacks? ”

This served to casually tell them something they would have noticed eventually and it got that delicious looking coffee cake someone brought in this morning the hell out of my face. 😂😂

      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.
