Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / ??? lbs (last weigh in 115.0 lbs on Dec 18th)

----------------------------------------
NYE was a low key house party at a friend's house and I was fully prepared for a calorie and carb overload last night, so I did not disappoint...LOLzzz:

...and yes, there was still pecan pie in the fridge which we dove into when we got home.
...and yes, i dumped. I knew it was going to happen soon after I finished my late-night pecan pie. Since I was pretty tipsy the death feelings were short lived as I pretty much passed out after the bathroom portion of the dumping. Mr. was sober enough to carry me upstairs and put me in bed. Unfortunately he did not wipe off my makeup so I LOOKED like death this morning. (Note to self: someday teach Mr. how to do my nightly face cleansing routine....)

Wednesday Jan 2
28 months PO / 5'2" / last weight 175
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't go on the scale past 3 days because I typically gain 2-3 lbs before my period, which is due in 3 days. It goes down after a few days. I decided I rather not see it.
I haven't been sleeping well this week and I didn't meal prep well, which led to me snacking and eating higher cals....

Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 109 lbs

----------------------------------------
Finally got on the scale properly for first time PO.
Down 6 lbs since morning of surgery. And I think it is mostly muscle loss, so not really good news. Though I did have a massive poop last night so there is that. Anyway. On the bright side, we got a belated Xmas gift platter of nuts that we enjoyed while watching "Get Smart" starring Steve Carrell and Anne Hathaway last night. That movie is funny 😂

I'm a little late to diving into this thread. I'd like to try some of these meals but not all have the recipes listed. Also searched here on the BP site but didn't seem to find a good thread posting recipes. Maybe I just didn't look in the right place. Any thoughts on where to look, either on this site or maybe another site?

Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 111.9 lbs

----------------------------------------
lunch was at a new fancy Japanese restaurant that recently opened near our place, and then later we went out to dinner with Mr. & friends
. I was really happy to be able to go out and about, after being stuck at home for the past 2.5 weeks (well, except for our annual 3-day xmas-party bender, but those parties were with famlly at various homes...so they don't count, LOL) Got nice and drunk at dinner and ate my fill of both regular and sugar-free Desserts. My current low-ish weight sort of made me feel I had carte-blanche to eat whatever, but at the end of the day I didn't even rack up as much cals as I thought I would...may or may not not be a good thing....

Thanks @ms.sss! Also, I just now saw that there is a recipes section in the Baritastic app that's probably worth looking at.

      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.
