Good for you, hope you get well underway again.

I know I've been banging on left right and centre about taking responsinbility for your choices in the past few days, but I think you make an excellent point. Being responsible doesnt mean you have to be hard on yourself. You dont have to beat yourself up for your actions and choices, just accept that they're not taking you where you want to go and change them.

Thanks everyone for all the encouragement and support! Yesterday was a little rough...I'm doing a modified de-tox, to get the sugar out of my system and have a pretty bad headache right now. But other than that, doing well...went for a walk at lunch yesterday and today. In a couple of days I should be feeling good again! :Angel_anim:

Again...thank you everyone for the words of encouragement!!

Hey MusicalMomma, thanks for the reminder that there actually IS work involved, that the band's job is to help me, not to do all the work for me. I've been a bit stalled too, and just trying to figure out how to start again. Its comforting to know that not only do we have support here, but if necessary, we actually can start over if we have to.

Best of luck!

BTW, I'm curious about your detoxing, are you following a specific program?

Jill

      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.
