Hey all



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say hi to everyone and encourage you to keep up the good fight against to bulge.

Things have been really hectic for me and I haven't been posting much - sorry. My husband was in the hospital for 11 days in November, got out the Friday before Thanksgiving, then we had in-laws in town, my birthday, tons of doctor's appointments and yesterday he had gamma knife surgery. I would hope things will slow down but I know they won't. We have my husband's birthday coming up in a week with his big birthday party the day before, lots of preparations for that, then I need to finish the Christmas stuff, decorate and in between all that we have more doctor's appointments, a thyroid scan which I have to put him on a low iodine diet next week for it. Okay, I'm stressing myself out just typing this. LOL

Mainly I just wanted to say hi to you all. I'm thinking about you and wishing you many losses. Hang in there guys. I think the new year will really help us a lot. It's the time everyone focuses on being healthier and that will help me out immensely.

Wow, you do have a lot on your plate right now Ezma. :girl_hug: I hope your husband is doing ok and will be feeling better soon. With all you have going on, you're still stopping by to think of us. God Bless you! I'm gonna keep you and your hubby in my thoughts and prayers. You hang in there too - we are all here for you as well! Be sure to take time to relax in between all that hustle and bustle.

Wishing you many weight losses too! Thinking healthier during this season is a good way to go. (I gotta avoid those darn Christmas cookies!) :thumbup: I agree the New Year will help. It'll be here before we know it!

Hang in there sweetie ((((more warm hugs and prayers))))

Merry Christmas and I hope your Husband has a wonderful birthday, and all the doctor appointments go by smoothly and fast.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Hi Ezma, VV's and all. The preperations that take our time are many this time of yr. DH & I had our 50th wedding Anniversary this yr and are getting ready for a 2nd.honeymoon in Jan. So we are busy with getting ready to see Australia and New Zealand. Family will be in for Xmas. I still find it hard to put any message out there. The only way to get anything done is to just do it no matter the fear inside. This is a whole new way of life.Joy and love through this holiday season. Audrey

      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.
