Back from the Oprah show!!



Recommended Posts

Well, I am back from Chicago and seeing Oprah. It was really interesting to see how things are done. The show that was taped airs today and it is about the Oscar's. She had Diane Keaton and Emma Thompson on and showed past winner's clips. Then we were going to do an After the Show but they had to do a show on the child predator's. They caught another one and she had the man that turned the predator in there and was interviewing him. So we were able to be there for two shows. She looked really good in person!! And she was very friendly and funny in between takes. I didn't get to see much of Chicago at all but I did get to go to a place to eat that someone on this board told me to go to! It was called the Flat Top Grill....and it was soooooo good! :biggrin1:

I was wearing a black velvet jacket with a white, ruffled shirt under it. I have dark brown hair and I was sitting next to my mother-in-law who was wearing a blue sweater and has platinum blonde hair...can't miss her hair!!!! :) We were sitting on the upper level in Oprah's view of the audience...she was facing us. They had the camera in our direction at one point but that is if they use that. SO! Does this mean that instead of looking like I have lost 35lbs...it will look like 25lbs since the camera adds 10lbs???? :)

Well, I watched Friday's show and they really didn't show much of the audience but there is still the Monday/Tuesday show on child predators...we'll see. But it was a great experience and a pleasure just to be there.

I think). They moved us around and I was across from the stage in the front row up one level. There was a railing in front of me so I don't know if it will block me or not.

      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.
