Good morning !

In addition to all of the Band rules (protein first, no Water with meals, etc) I want to start a blog. Age 47 and not only is the first forum I've ever posted on - I've never had a blog. Times are a changin !

One of the 'rules' I've given myself is to post daily here (making myself contribute even if just to say thank you to someone). Another 'rule' I want to give myself is a blog. Figure it would be cheaper than therapy :)

Any tips on how to get started? Thanks !

Feel free to take a peek at it.

Thanks, everyone ! Shirley - I will find yours :) I ended up figuring out how to blog (well, that's an overstatement) on blogger and my blog is in my signature.

My new problem is when someone sends me a message - it "the proverbial it" says that I cannot message back. Need to fiqure that out or people will think that I'm flat out rude ... thanks for the comments !

      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.
