Janine,

Have you tried the new chocolate cheerios. I got some but have tried them. Maybe the would help with the chocolate thing. I love chocolate and this time of year its really hard to get away from it.

Good luck. Keep us posted, its so good to here from everyone.

Hey Ms Carol, welcome back. That should do the trick. What have you been up to and what is one goal for the next two weeks?

Hi Guys,

I have not tried the chocolate cheerios, maybe I could mix that with the coco krispies for more Fiber. Well, I am a crazy Zumba freak. I dance Monday Wednesday & Saturday. I am starting another one tonight a different instructor.

I just love to dance and especially enjoy the cool down when we do the more sensual dancing. It is almost like India soft belly dancing. I have a neighbor who has twin Far eastern Indian girls that are dancing. They dresses are beautiful I want to ask if I can go, but I am not sure if it is a religious ritual too, I don't want to

offend anyone.

Where is everyone? We should have a forum reunion next month and hopefully everyone will check in.

My inner thighs are really hanging it soooo gross.

I am so tempted to go to Thailand and have a Tummy Tuck and thigh lift, it is pretty cheap there and my hubby has a lot of frequent fliers. But can you imagine being in paradise and strapped to a bed.

Has anyone looked into plastic surgery anything for under 3000?

I just don't have the rashes for documentation.

Great to hear from you, Janine--I think of you often and wonder how you ar doing, how your children are doing, etc. Looks like you are doing well with your new band--so glad!

As far as the skin--I'm not sure there is much we can do about that other than exercise for muscle tone underneath, which doesn't do a thing for the skin. It seems most people who take care of it get plastic surgery. I'm not sure I see that in my future at my age. My biggest problem is my stomach flap. Sometimes I get sores and irritation under it but I can usually take care of it with powder and keeping it really dry. I try to buy clothes that have tummy controls in them and that helps with disguising it but I don't ee any way to eliminate it other than PS. I know if you have documented irritation you can often get insurance to cover the PS (I've read where some people put dish detergent under there to irritate it before seeing their doctor). Anyway, that's all I know about it.

Hope all is well with your family! Karen

      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.
