well, among other things, a firkin a British unit of capacity used especially in the brewing industry, equal to nine U.K. gallons, a small wooden tub, and a measurement for butter and soap, much like carrats are measurments of gem stones.

I'm just sort of feeling lately like the way we weigh is so arbritrary, I figured that I would seek out new and interesting ways to track my weight. Last week I went with atomic weight, this week it's firkins, who knows what I'll choose next??? Heck, I don't even know :)

As for fitday, well, even at my goal I'll still be severely overweight, so who cares what they say anyway!

My Spudboy will be out next week and my DH will be here the following weekend! WooT!

      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.
