Hello fellow sleevers. I start my pre op diet Monday too. I am trying to keep a positive attitude about the hunger. I have been through so much to get to this point, so I am not going to let some hunger pangs ruin this for me. I don't know about everyone else, but I prayed when I first started this journey, and asked God if it was not his will for me to have the surgery, to block it. And I meant it. I did not want to be laying on that operating table if it was not his will. But every step of this process has been smooth sailing. My surgery coordinator submitted my package to my insurance company on a Thursday, and she got an approval on the next Tuesday. And I just got my insurance 7 months ago, through a new job. It is though everything has been mapped out for me. So I am going to take one day at a time, and pray everyday for grace. Don't even think about the hunger. We have to get to the point where we realize that we have to eat to live, not live to eat. I love to eat like the next person, but if we want to keep this weight off, we have to get the victory over food. Myself included. I refuse to let food continue to dictate my life anymore. I hate feeling bad after eating a big meal, because I am ashamed of the amount that I ate. We shouldn't be stuffed when we finish eating. I would be soo full, that I could hardly move. I am just being real. That is ridiculous, and I know it. But now I am pressing forward, and excited to be regaining my life back. I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes 2 two years ago, and sleep apnea recently. Now why I had to be diagnosed with them first, before doing something about my eating habits is beyond me. But I am not going to beat myself up about it. I made the mistakes, I am human, now I am going to do something about, while I have the chance. Tomorrow is not promised, and God knows my 4 little children need their mom around, and my husband needs his wife. I don't want to let them or myself down. I wish everyone much success with your pre op diets, recovery, and new way of living. Here's to taking our lives back!!! Surgery date is August 30, 2012, and it cannot get here fast enough.lol

I feel like I am going through a divorce with food. Ready to let go of this bad marriage and learn to deal with life without food being the primary focus. Eat to live not live to eat.

Stupid question here how much of each food are we to even eat on the liquid diet at each meal or snack I'm very confused about this. Sorry I'm not due to start the liquid diet till the middle of September and it's only 10 days Im very confused and curious Ty.

Good luck on your journey.
