Never again...(My Declaration of Freedom)



Recommended Posts

This is my declaration of freedom from fat, self esteem, and unhealthiness. I have it posted on my refrigerator for when I want to quit. :blush:

Never again will I be afraid to talk to someone because of what I think they are thinking of me

Never again will I be on another crash diet, or put my life in danger to feel better about myself

Never again will I refuse to do something I really want to do because of my weight

Never again will I not go to an event because I can't find something to wear

Never again will I isolate myself from the rest of the world because I have low self esteem

Never again will I try to please people just because I want them to like me

Never again will I be afraid of airplane seats, waiting room seats, or any seats for that matter

Never again will I focus on my flaws instead of my beauty

Never again will I lose faith in God or myself

Never again will I spend half an hour in front of the mirror pointing out the things that are not right

Never again will I wish that I was a different person, or wish I could go back and not eat that bag of potato chips

Never again will I make excuses for my shortcomings

NEVER AGAIN WILL I WEIGH 280 POUNDS

NEVER WILL I ALLOW MY CHILD TO GROW UP IN AN ENVIRONMENT THAT REVOLVES AROUND food.< /strong>

      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.
