Well, I had made it through the holidays but I just sat here in my after holiday depressions and food guilt so I DESERVED A BREAK! I went to the phone and we went on a cruise. We had the best time ever! A MUCH needed relaxing vacation. A bit chilly but it was overall fantastic. We met another couple there too. She had weight loss surgery also so we immediately clicked with talking about the band. Plus, 2 other people at our lunch table said they had the band too! Then, when I was out at one of the shows, the guy next to me had the band.

Here is one of my fav pics......

Yep, spur of the moment. Actually, that is when you get the best deals! If you can go at the drop of a hat, then it works out great for the pocketbook! I had a shift change so I got 5 days off in a row and it worked perfectly.

I LOVE CRUISING. It is the only way I vacation anymore it seems. It is MUCH cheaper and it is SO relaxing.

The cruise was a 4 night cruise out of Galveston Texas and went to Calica Mexico and had 2 "fun" days at sea. I HATE Calica, it is a horrible port. But we didn't plan to ever get off the ship so it didn't matter where we went really.

I lazily sat around the pool reading a good book and enjoyed the fantastic food in itty bitty portions. For the first time EVER in cruising I didn't gain a single pound!! I didn't lose any either, but at least I didn't gain it!

Hey Lisa, I gave Travis that smooch and I told him it was from you!!! You know what that crass man said to me? "where's the tongue?" LMAOOOOO!

      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.
