I've been missing...

Hi guys! Guess it's time I got back in the game. I went AWOL for a while. So many things have happened over the last summer that I can't wrap my brain around it. First and foremost, my ex-husband died. His wife/widow has been a total jerk to my daughter and won't let her come back over to the house to get her things from the bedroom there. Guess she thinks we are going to take something.

Three weeks later, my partners mother passed away. She was 94 (almost 95) but it still hurt. She was doing really well until she got a virus. The virus got passed on to all my family members and landed my girls in the ER and then me at the doctors office for a total unfill. I was down to 194 at that point. With the unfill and all the stress of planning a memorial service (her mom died by herself as we were all throwing up at home) and the sadness, I gained weight and went back up to 199.8.

During this whole summer, I have had to take my mom back and forth to the ER for illnesses and issues. Things with her have gotten worse and it has been an incredible strain on the family (financially, physically and emotionally).

I've finally started getting some of my fill back and I'm up to 3 cc's. I had 5.5 cc's before the unfill. I was so sick and had thrown up (sorry to be graphic) so hard, that I burst blood vessels in my face.

Anyway, this has been a hell of a summer and I don't see it letting up any time soon. My mom is still sick and we are having a really hard time getting her to stay on any treatment. We've started thinking that she has dementia. It's just crazy. I am going to try to get back on the horse and start losing again. I've just lost so much confidence in myself and my ability to lose weight right now. :thumbup: Not smart on my part, I know.

Thanks for listening...hope to get back in touch with you guys soon...KMCD

      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.
