Sorry, saw it typed yet again this morning, amazing how many people do it. Just had to get it off my chest, lol.

Pehaps its because Im Australian and Microsoft American spelling also gets my goat?

I know Im no advocate the damn diet but for pete's sake, its Atkins, not ADKINS.

I'd say you have some "perfectionist tendencies", which is alright as long as you are realistic and have no expectation to raise others to your level of functioning. :)

In the grand scheme of things, is a misspelled word really that important...even if it happens frequently?

Be content that you spell the word "correctly", and leave the rest alone. I don't believe that your feelings have anything to do with "American spelling"...the word of the day is "tolerance". Develop some, you will be much more calm and happier! :)

      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.
