Where the eff have I been?



Recommended Posts

Ok so I took a little vacation. I broke up with my boyfriend in like September. YEAH ME! I moved back in with my parent and quit my job.

Holy crap was I just looking for a drastic change or what? Lol I partied for a few month and now I'm back.

So I need to get back on track. I gained like 10 pounds in this process. I'm back to work, back to school and have a new (WAY BETTER) boyfriend.

Life has finally started to feel good. I feel good about myself and everything else around me. My mom and I were having a discussion the other day about guilt.

When I eat bad food, I feel guilty. I have always grown up rather religously and I was thinking, God doesn't punish people for eating junk food. Just because you are fat, doesn't mean that you are going to go to hell. It honestly helped me come to terms with the fact that my body doesn't have to be perfect and I don't have to feel bad because I don't look like a freakin porn star.

So I'm going to get my ass up and put my running shoes on. Just being back on this site is an inspiration to me.

Thanks all

      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.
