Good morning! I hope your month is going well also.

My goal is kinda weight related, so not sure if this officially counts, but it’s my goal so I’ll post it.

Since surgery back in February I feel like all I’ve done is work, go to Pilates, work, plan my food, work, stress about when the next time I’ll poop is, work, log food, work, make sure my Protein and Water is on point,work, go to support group, work...

My current lifestyle is so dramatically different from my previous one. What I feel has suffered the most is my friendships because every activity done with friends also centered around food.
My goal for May/June is to get back out and reconnect with friends and just go do something that won’t derail me.
There are a couple local arts festivals coming up and while those used to center around what kind of food/drink I could eat, this time around I just really want to hang with friends and be part of the crowd again. Also I’d love to go to the local AAA ballpark and enjoy a game sans the requisite beer and hot dog.
It will be tough because I’ve put myself in this little insulated world for the last 100 days, but it’s time to get out and start becoming part of life outside my bariatric bubble.

Listened to the Podcast Mobituaries. I really enjoy Mo Rocca.

Went to the gym burned a bunch of calories came home and had a great dinner. (Pork tenderloin and salad) I’m going to bed early tonight and be ready to hit it again tomorrow.

Boy I’ve been having a rough time keeping up this month!
13) play with an animal. We have two dogs and watch my sons dog when they both have to work 12 hour shifts so got this one covered.
14) cook from scratch. Every day 😍
15) Read a book. I’m reading β€œnever binge again” on kindle. It’s a free download. Warning though - he refers to his binge as β€œthe pig”. It doesn’t offend me because he’s experienced it and he’s using his own experience.
16) Listen to a podcast . Done. I listened to James Miller Lifeology this morning.

We’re halfway through the month and I’m down 6 lbs. My goal was 10 for the month so hopingπŸ™πŸΌ

#16 Listened to the Keto Diet Podcast (Leanne Vogel), episode w/ Ashley Salvatori. I play with keto but I am not all in. Still can't believe that so much fat can ultimately be good for you. Especially since many of the people in my IF groups that do keto have terrible bloodwork. But i am open minded---and desperate!!

#17 Did this last weekend, but I can't seem to dump my old clothes. they are piled in bags in the bottom of my closet.

Day 3 of my no junk food challenge. I want to murder someone.

I can try next month but if someone else wants too I’ll step aside! If I do it I may need help with technical aspects of posting images.

Yes !! I have a lot of dental work that needs to be done. I have a dentist phobia after a horrible experience when I was 19. I finally made the appointment and went Wednesday to come up with the plan. It’s going to cost about three times as much as my first new car!!! But hubs and I came up with a plan how to pay for it last night . Procedures will begin May 30th . I could use all the prayers or good vibes or happy thoughts you all would like to send!

Terrible as in how? I’m also dabbling with Keto and what’s scared me before is my liver disease and how that will relate to the high fats. But I’m all for the low carbs

and sorry to laugh at your pain but the 3 day no junk comment really made me chuckle πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

      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.
