What happened is the past:
I can't change yesterday and this I accept.
I am perfectly okay the way I am: this is acceptable and I have the power to change my tomorrows. Strength for the future lies within ME.

Oh boy, J San, found myself doing this just yesterday. I want to be just as good as people much farther down the road. Maybe I seek perfection in a imperfect🌏 world!

I swear I thought I was a patient man until I had this surgery and wanted things to move much faster. I've gotten it "somewhat" under control but at times it's like waiting for Christmas morning in the middle of July.

Today is like Dolly Parton's hard candy Christmas for me, not even Christmas in July. Its a month today, well it was at 7AM, and I am having a Why Me day! Ellie 123 says, and rightly , I should call into my Bariatric hospital , let them know I was vomiti,g until 3AM, even the butternut squash Soup from early evening was coming up, as well as popsicles. This is not what I booked for, I swear I booked from the "smaller appetite and weight loss" pamphlet. 😟😪😷. Oh I have lost, 22 pounds since surgery, reminds me of a Bible section. Can't help it, I live in 5he northern outskirts of the Bible Belt. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his immortal soul?
My insurance paid my 💰 money, but today what did I gain?

Hang in there. Your body will adjust to it's new configuration and all will be good again (BETTER than good).

      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.
