Thanks for all the well wishes guys~ I can't wait to start, and learn something new! Its been quite a while since I worked full time, and I am going to miss the hell outta my littel boy, but things are very different now~~ I have to do this...and things will work out!! I will letchas all know how it goes on Monday. I have a little problem though. I just looked at my calendar and I have an appointment in West Chester with my son on Dec 2nd to see a specialist that takes about a month to get an appointment with!! How can I ask for time off all ready?? I start on Monday and would need that Friday off. Anthony could always just go with his father, but I HATE to miss the appointment. Its for Anthony's ears. He has tubes in there, and its almost time for them to be removed/replaced.....I dunno what to do....

hiya Hope,

Congrats hon, one step closer to Independence...WTG

When you go in on Monday, tell your boss whats up with you son, and ask him/her if it would be ok....if not tell him/her, you will try to get someone else to take him.

You are one strong women, I give you alot of credit.

I have been eating like a pig, I am unfilled cuz of my surgery, I got back to Dr. Kwom tomorrow...TO GET FILLED AGAIN.

Thank God.......

I will let ya know how I do.

      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.
