ok, here goes another silly story that came to realization just today.,

picture you sitting in the drivers seat...your belly so large that you have to have the seat go all the way back..(try being short and not reaching pedals too).. and you have to have the steering wheel turned up to drive....and even turning the wheel, you are doing some belly rubbing.

so today, as i am driving to work, i looked down and saw about 6-7 inch space between my belly and the steering wheel itself......i even put my hand there and measured with my fingers and was like what the heck??

my tummy is no where close to the steering wheel...def made me smile and turn up van halen even louder than normal.

so a huge difference 7 months ago to now.....no more belly rubbing for me...

I know, I even moved my seat from the farthest back, like my hubby, to the nearest, like my skinny daughter-in-law. I forgot to move my seat back after getting out of his car, and he went,"Dang, I thought that I was swollen, I was steering with my stomach!" He needs the lapband, too!

      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.
