I still have pain meds at least once a day so far,,,Here is what I did today. I rushed out this morning late as I didnt know that getting ready nstuff would take as long as it did. I rushed to Starbucks!! I started looking intently into most gals eyes and they were all polite and smiled,,,I couldnt see one person that looked like anyones pictures so I sat down and sipped slowly my coffee. I began to wonder how so many gals could miss such a nice morning coffee clutch. Then a strange feellling crossed my mind, Did I have my dates wrong? Check the Daytimer..Yup Im not early or late Just by about a couple of weeks!!! Gadfrey whats up with this? Did a get a brain band as well? Did starvation do this to me? I dunno all I know is that I had a nice late, went to Sees candy for stocking stuffers(honest) and then went to my first post of visit. It went well, so now I wlll see everyone one the 21st! .. Be kind to me okay?

LOL Victoriana! I just popped in and saw your message. Looking forward to seeing you on the 20th. :P

Hopefully I'll be at the correct Starbucks -- this is the one that you enter from the mall parking lot, right? It's across from PF Changs? I know there are a bunch of Starbuckseses in Bellevue. :)

Mollyjolly, The correct Starbucks I believe is on the North side of Bell Square, next to Sees candy and west of Cost Plus Imports. Its on the North side of N.E. 8th St. Im not sure where the one is that your are referring to, I don't go to Bell Square that often. I really appreciate metting with everyone live and in living color. I love to laugh, I hope to be able to contain myself so as not to embarrass everyone. This is the season for Joy! Dont worry though, Im not like a WOOO HOOO morning person so I should be fine.

      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.
