I think my gardening days are over. :( I used to grow many things, but since moving to the mountains can't grow much but pine trees. I don't get much sun and many things will not grow at this altitude. I do try to grow a few things in planters on my deck, but it just doesn't work out well at all. Now I just buy my veggies at the store and farmers market.

This pic what my yard/land looks like.

Nice garden waterchick, i wish mine was that big! @ Humming Bird, I love Rhubarb, one of my summer time favs :) @ Lollicatt Im not sure what could be eating them, is it just the Tomato thats being eatin? If so sounds like ground hogs, we had that problem a few years back, all we did was plant a few extra tomato plants to share with Mr. Groundhog. Then some one on my street caught him in a live trap and released him miles away. GL :) @ Sara75 Yeah i thought we were going to have the same problem, our garden was under Water for a few hours, thankfully all is ok, gl to u. :) @ #4 betheboo I cant believe you picked a tomato already, lucky duck :)

Keep posting everyone

      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.
