The minus? I am 12 ft from my refridgerator alone all day. :help:

I am a Life and Health Insurance Agent (mainly employee benefits). I've been selling insurance for 12 years and absolutely love it! It allows me all the time I need for my two kids who are big into athletics. I think I work harder keeping them going than I do at my money making job...but I wouldn't trade my life for the world!!!!

I'm a morning DJ and news announcer for the local radio station. I left TV when I started putting on weight. I still have to dress decently but can wear sandals in the winter if I want and no make up. I'm off by 10am so I still get to be sort of a stay at home mom. I just half to go to bed about the time my daughter does (she's 9) in order to get up at 3:30 each morning. But I love it.

      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.
