Since surgery, I've been nice and safe in my apartment with all of my good-choice food by my side, no temptations in sight. Today I ventured outside of my bubble and ran some errands with my mom. Finally she said she was so starving and she was going to go through the White Castle drive thru, although she said if it was too hard for me she wouldn't do it. I told her to go ahead and do it. But maaaaaan was it hard to be in a car for the 7 minute drive home filled with that amazing smell, and then go home and sit with her while she eats her delicious deliciousness and I'm finishing one of my last days of puree diet lol Although it was a great feeling to pass up that temptation, very proud of myself.

What kind of temptations have you been faced? Has your family and friends been "careful" about what they eat around you?

Okay...I think I just might win the tempation test!!! My parents had a big anniversary last Friday and I planned an amazing dinner for 30+ family and friends at my favorite restaurant. First came the appetizers...hot cheesy spinach artichoke dip and fried green tomatoes dripping with some kind of white cheese filling...then the main courses, shrimp and grits, pork medallians, braised salmon, and spaghetti....then homemade sweet potato pie with whipped cream...just shoot me...lol. I had a very nice thank you very much bowl of Tomato Soup. Was is worth it? Absolutely, I found out I can go out with a big group and have a ball with absolutely no alcohol or high fat goodies. Also, today I found out I've lost 17 lbs in two weeks...I am proud of me!!!

I have my challenge this Saturday---also my parents 60th anniversary. We arranged a party bus/limo and we're going on a 3 hour dinner cruise. The cruise does not serve Soup of any type (im startign 3 weeks post op) so i actually have to bring my own soup and bowl! Granted, the charged me the childrens price ($50!) and i'll have them pack up my food for my other daughter who is staying home...but it will be a night of food and drinks..and I'll be there sipping whatever soup i bring!!!

      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.
