Wow Karen! You have taken a few years off as well! You look at least 10 years younger than you before pics.

Well, I did it. I managed to get stuck and haven't even had my first fill yet. :wink2:

I smashed the Hell of of a 3 ounce piece of tilapia with my fork instead of "dirtying" the food processor or blender.

I took too big of a forkfull and apparently didn't chew well enough.

Fortunately, it only lasted 2 minutes or so but I'm sure after a few fills if I am not careful, it will hurt a lot more and last a lot longer.

Now onto to PBs and sliming!!! Woohoo!!

Thank you Cocoa--you're so sweet! I was so excited I ran over to my mom's (she lives nest door) and she started crying --she was so happy and proud!

Bob-OUCH!! Getting stuck is the worst!! At least you know the band is there (in case you needed a reminder--what a crappy reminder it is!). Cocoa- I'm being nice to you from now on--I don't need you poking my voodoo doll ;-) LOL!

Karen, you look amazing!

Leigha, my sympathies. I have to say, though, that I've really enjoyed my kids as they get older---there's something really satisfying about the kinds of conversations we have now.

Still...car, girlfriend....

Not sure I'm going to like the whole girlfriend thing when it's Preston's time.

Bob--ouch! Sorry you got stuck. I just had a near-miss with chicken, which has never caused me trouble before. It was a tragedy narrowly averted.

Denise--when do you leave for N'awlins? Do you perhaps need an assistant? A luggage handler? If so, I volunteer.

Hey Betsy, we're leaving in the morning, come on down! I could have us a packing helper just a little bit ago.

Dang, I hate packing. I can barely dress myself for one day, nevermind choosing for several at once! I had stuff everywhere.

Oh, and I managed to get one of my center seats changed. I am aisle all the way there!

Just one more seat to change and it will be aisle all the way home, too!

And the sinus infection is much better, don't think I'll be grossing my seatmates out too badly. Yay!

Bon voyage Denise.

Why does it seem that everyone is going on a trip but me?

Leigha, how do you think her parents feel? Count your blessings :wink2:

I got back on Facebook after getting kicked off a couple of years ago.

Send me a friend request if you want. triegerb@verizon.net or search "Bob Trieger"

And everyone keeps telling me fish is the easiest thing to eat... I'm curious, how exactly does someone get kicked off Facebook?

and I thought it was impossible to get stuck on mushies, especially prior to any fills. Oops!

A few years ago there were games that gave you credits for every friend you had on Facebook. So, I did the obvious like thousands of others did and friended everyone and everything in sight. Apparently there is a failsafe built in to stop spammers that closes accounts after they reach 6,000 friends.

The fact that I had over 50 accounts didn't help matters :wink2:

LOL, I'm so disappointed, I was expecting something much more torrid than that!

      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.
