Only I Can Change My Life, No One Can Do It For Me

The Struggle You Are In Today Is Developing The Strength You Need for Tomorrow

The Road May Be Bumpy But Stay Committed To The Process

If You Are Tired Of Starting Over, Stop Giving Up

Be The Best Version Of You

Be Stronger Than Your Excuse

It’s Not A Diet, It’s A Lifestyle Change

Doubt Kills More Dreams Than Failure Ever Will

Will Is A Skill

Nothing Tastes As Good As Being Thin Feels

Stressed Spelled Backwards Is Desserts

An Active Mind Cannot Exist In An Inactive Body

Strive For Progress, Not Perfection

Success Is Never Certain, Failure Is Never Final

No Amount Of Security Is Worth The Suffering Of A Life Chained To A Routine That Has Killed Your Dreams

A Goal Without A Plan Is Just A Wish

Success Is The Sum Of Small Efforts, Repeated Day In And Day Out

You Can’t Cross The Sea Merely By Standing And Staring At The Water

You gain strength, courage and confidence by

every experience by which you really stop to

look fear in the face. You are able to say to

yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can

take the next thing that comes along."

      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.
