Shhh! Summerset! Behave! LOL

In Germany we have a proverb that fits this situation perfectly: "Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert, lebt es sich ganz ungeniert."

😁

"Once your reputation's gone, you can boldly carry on."

I'll throw my hat in the ring:

I'm not high or low carb. I'm more middle of the road. He's why: I eat mostly plant sources (carbs) some meat, some dairy.

I can't eat most animal Proteins, and the ones I can just don't behave well so I have to limit them. I also cannot eat rice Pasta and bread and lose weight.

But my goal is not zero. Eventually my health has to take precedence over the mania of weightloss and I will need to begin maintenance. I cant, refuse to eat animal proteins all day long. It's not going to work for me long term. My team knew this when we started together and has backed me 💯

There are alternate paths. Do what will work for you and revise if it doesn't.

I want everyone to be successful and happy long term.

      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.
