Good luck and best wishes for a speedy recovery! TPG

Good luck Amy! Best wishes and hope you have little or no pain. My day is Thursday - liquid diet is not too bad. I'm not really hungry which is totally weird. You'll be fine! TPG

I played the choking game once. Passed out. Woke up wearing Plain's Lil Bo Peep outfit. Scary. :biggrin:

I thought that was for BM. Hmmm, I think I'm confused again. I'm sticking to Cheetos (and elephants). TPG

:biggrin: Just how many cereal box tops do I need for my FB decoder ring? This may take awhile. And it seems that cereal is NOT a clear liquid. :ohmy:

I just love it when you talk dirty, baby :biggrin:.

Sounds like everyone had a fairly good weekend. Glad to hear it. Everyone in pain, I can relate. I spent way too much time on my feet yesterday and my back is killing me today. But then, it always hurts so nothing too new there. Thanks to all who "friended" me on FB. Still not sure who Rhonda (I think) is. PM anyone? FB is gonna take me a little time to get used to it. And I'm really not at my best with the low blood sugar thing. Doc says back off on diabetes meds a little so maybe that'll do it. I'm just sorta slow and sluggish. Forgive me, love me, typos and rambles and all :biggrin:. I'm not hungry. It's really weird. Did y'all have that when you were pre-oping? I'm thirsty and would kill for a cold Diet Coke but.... I'm so not a fan of Crystal Light. I never have trouble drinking enough Water though so I guess I'm lucky there. Welcome home, Beth. Lulu, good for you at doc's office! Ebony, sorry you're in pain. Slim, what's going on in your life? Those are the posts I remember :crying:. Love ya all though :crying:. More later.....if I can summon the energy to type :ohmy:. TPG

:ohmy: Why I'm still up I just don't know....tired and loopy from low blood sugar. So, I decided it was a perfect time to give old FB a try. Not a good idea. After much annoyance and setting up a new e-mail account, I think I have it...maybe. I ended up as Poolgirls Journey...first name, last name. I wanted to be anonymous and didn't figure that out properly the first (2) time(s) thru. Oh, I'm an idiot. And tired. Do you need any more info? Can anyone "friend" me so I can see WTH I'm doing? Please :biggrin:. I'm lonely here... If I've screwed this up, somebody PM me please. And, did anyone else notice when they were setting up FB, when you add your b'date...the first years on the drop-down are the 80's? :sneaky:I had to scroll down a bit before I found my birth year :crying:. Stooopid 20 yr olds - don't have jobs and play on FB all day...crazy kids...not like mature PJTPers.:crying: TPG

Jennifer, Sorry to hear about the idiot. I don't think there's much hope that she'll ever get a fill. You've tried, you've warned her. If you gotta slap her, go for it! No, really, you probably have to back away for awhile. Maybe she'll get some sense and figure out WTH she's doing. You can't force her to eat responsibly. Take care of yourself! TPG

Hi Michelle! I'm currently on day 2 of my pre-op. It's all liquids except SF Jell-O (which is nearly liquid anyway). It's really not too bad but I'm glad I only have a few more days to go. Each doc is different so who knows what yours will be like? Some are a few days, others 2 weeks...eek :ohmy:. Welcome to LBT :biggrin:. It's a great place with lot of good info! Best of luck to you! TPG

Ahoy! Just wanted to say hello and welcome. I don't have any TriCare info though :biggrin:. You'll get lots of help and support from this forum. The people are great and I know someone will respond to your post soon. TPG

Forgot the UniBoob: I also suggest the Enell for those of us with, um, boobs! They are costly but you can get them on eBay often. I bought one that is a "second" but the only prob it had was the band part was 3/4 of an inch shorter than it should have been. It posed no problem. The Enell offers great support for the upper back too! (.)(.) TPG

NOTE: I am not responsible for typos, rambling, forgetting someone, making no sense at all, or licking the dust off computer screen! Blood sugar dropped to 50 earlier. Ugh. Okay, here goes: Anyone with a NSV - whooo hoooo! Totally cool feeling. I hope all of you with sick kids, bad teeth, etc. get better, get drugs, or get yanked. Whichever works for your situation!! :ohmy: Okay, I survived the party and thanks for all the support on my pre-op. I'm not hungry. Weird. I passed up 2 freaking cakes, cupcakes, a chocolate fountain, potato salad and crab rangoon dip. It was a mighty battle and then I come here and find that I gotta figure out FB ....eeek. Boy, kick a girl when she's down. I'll try FB but it'll take help please!! I'm computer stoooopid. Or maybe this is an evil plot to get away from me....:crying: I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was good, not really hungry, just worrying about blood sugar drops. I'm hanging on 'til Thurs. I've been really looking at all of your avis and reading your signatures. WTG, ladies! Your success inspires me and helps keep me from freaking out. Thanks for sharing!! Beth reminded me to look at the success stories and before and after pics. Wow, amazing. Ebony, saw you there, you go girl! Fanny, your dress pic was hot! I'll join you there soon. I'm committed to this or maybe I should be committed :crying:...and now I can't remember how to spell committed...forgive me...brain misses carbs . Geez, don't tell my mom - she'd be horrified (teacher)... Ramble over. Goodnight all. See ya tomorrow and I'll give Fb a whirl...I think :biggrin:. TPG

Heartfire, Fingers are crossed that your DH gets to come home tomorrow. (No more fires!) I'm sure you and DD will be thrilled! Take care, TPG

I am so full from all the SF Popsicles, SF Jell-O, and water that I simply could not eat a chicken leg. No way. Couldn't even think about a chicken leg...with gravy...and mashed potatoes. KFC anyone? :thumbup:

Yeah, I know :thumbup:. And I don't even have a weiner dog. I'm weak and slow from hunger. I gotta start catching dragonflies. Screw those dinky fruit flies.

Hmm. No poodles. Got a weiner dog though. :thumbup:

Yipee! I think I'll try a fruit fly/Jell-O combo too. I'll post the recipe on here soon. :thumbup:

Let the Fruit Fly Fiesta begin then! I have NO band. I'm just doing my pre-op. Whoo Hoooo, more bugs for me!:thumbup:

Well, that's what I was thinking but wanted to be sure. Are you sure? Really? What about the wings? They seem a bit carb-like to me. Should I just drink the tea anyway? I do like to live on the edge. :thumbup:

Snicker, snicker. Cheetos are evil. So, do fruit flies have any carbs? One fell in my tea and I'm considering drinking it. I'm hungry, dammit. Don't judge me!

OMG! Wahhhhhhh! I want lobster!!! **getting on plane to TX right now** Lulu, that looks amazing - just like on FN. Yep, my veggie broth sure is filling. :thumbup: Note to self: Stop licking computer screen. Dust is NOT on pre-op diet

Hang in there!! I'm only on day 1 so I'm not half-starved yet. Tomorrow might be another story. I can't believe you're on day 8. Good for you. I think I'd be kinda loopy after 8 days :thumbup:. And you still have enough energy to type...lol. I hope your surgery goes well. And that your liver is nice and un-fat . TPG

Cont'd: Lulu, is lobster a clear liquid? Yum. Enjoy. Kat - Hi! Kristen, whoooo hoo on the 14s. WTG! :thumbup: Heartfire, howdy! PJTP: liquid diet is going okay. I'm really not hungry. I just spent the whole day cooking. Made German potato salad, slaw, baked Beans, and crab rangoon dip. All for tomorrow's party. I tasted as I cooked but mostly just the sauce parts. I didn't eat any! Tomorrow is gonna be rough. I'll just gaze longingly at the fruit for the chocolate fountain. When it's cake time, I'm picking up my camera and keeping busy. Sniffing the air in my house today was torture. Onions fried in bacon fat?!? Oh, save me from my fat self!! At least tomorrow I can wander outside. I still think wine is a clear liquid though :cursing:. How the heck will I do this party with the family cold sober????? Hope you all have a great weekend! TPG
