Day 6 and on time!!! Maybe I can change! Lol

Week 1 update! Between the 1st and today, I'm down 3.8 lbs! I have been following my C25K program, hiked the 1st of 52 hikes for the year, and hit my goal of exercising 5 days out of the week! I am so close to the 180's! I desperately want to be there by time I have my 3 month follow up on the 17th. I want to have lost 45 lbs, so that's 5.6 lbs to lose in 11 days... I can do it!

Sorry I didn't post a fridge pic, but nothing as spectacular as all the beautiful fridges that look like they should be shown in homes and garden. My fridge is dirty and kid friendly with lots of Snacks (healthy and not so), lots of leftovers for the family, stains, etc.

I have been doing so much better this month. Still not completely doing what I'm supposed to, but in AA we say it's progress not perfection. As long as I'm moving forward, I'm moving in the right direction.

Jan. 7th:

Today's Challenge also coincidences with my 14th month post op. My motivation/inspiration is to never become complacent. So while I enjoy the present and ponder on the future, I will also be vigilant about the past. Not all of it was terrible, I'm still the exact same person in almost every way that counts to me and that is a win, but in the past I neglected to place myself in the top tier of importance in my own life. Major change, hard fought victory.

I did track every single freaking day, so I made that goal. I did not stay in my carb limit - 3 days yes, 3 days no!!!

I am committed to tracking, now will add getting back to the gym. (I was all set to cancel my membership).

You are all my inspiration! 😎😍

I want to get the rest of the weight off so I can get plastic surgery done.... I need to let that be my motivation.

Weight is the same, be patient. Take notes, improve method.

      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.
