OMG Juli - the mental image (my retinas are burned)...LOL

Okay - FINE - I admit it I'm a recovering scale Whore Too...you people are going to make me fall off of the wagon. Tomorrow it is - weigh in! I cannot hold myself responsible if it isn't the number I wish...

(pst...Lulu - your DH may need to send me your "lost" scale..ah hem...mine may be riddled with shotgun pellets or even better dented from a hammer -- oohhh that sounds like fun!)

I am a scale addict as well. I like to weigh myself before potty time and then after to see how much I lost! :)

I had one ran over by a truck....truly horrible...lol..

I am ready to start protein! :)

How is everyone else doing??

Here's something, I went for a pear, peeled of course, instead of something like pretzels or cheese.

It's a little slow going down, but yeah, I feel like that's a reasonable choice as far as food goes.

As an aside, no desire to hyjack, but anyone twitter?

I would love to join in on this party if it is not too late! I have got to get my a$$ is gear. I have just slacked off and I don't have a good reason for it!

I do have a question for all of you. If you have a dialated esphogus and you do liquids for a fews days does the esphogus revert back to normal?

Welcome Becky! You are more than welcome. Some of us have started some have not.

As for the esphogus, I have no good answer. Sorry! I would ask your Dr.

So I do believe that I will ABSOLUTEly be having a mixed drink on New Years Eve this year. I have a 4 year old son who will be spending the night at his grandmothers, and I intend to take full advantage of the situation. We plan to go out, somewhere, and one drink won't kill me, it will just knock me on my a$$, that's all.

I've moved on to mushies tonight, having baked ricotta cheese with marinara sauce. I made about 1/2 cup of cheese with a 1/4 cup of sauce, and it is so good, but I am getting full quickly, which is a great thing. I'll be back to liquids tomorrow as I just made broccoli cheese Soup for my lunch.

Hope everyone's having a great day.

It is so great to see everyone is doing well. I am so glad to know that I am not the only one that steps on the scale before and after going potty just to see what the difference was. I can't go in there without stepping on it once. Did my smoothie this morning and it actually held me for several hours. I felt so full! I have NEVER felt like that from my Protein Drink. I am so glad that you started this BBK!

This thread has been a godsend. I started liquids today and I feel so much better. I have been sipping on Special K Protein Water and it really does take the cravings away. I had my lap band surgery Nov. 20th of this year and have only lost 13 pounds. However, I have been able to eat more than I thought possible during this Christmas holiday. The good news is that I haven't gained any weight, but the bad news is that I am not losing as I would have had I not overindulged myself!

I was so... happy to see this thread and I hope with the new year, will come the new attitude that someone mentioned in their post. You guys are great!

      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.
