Dawn - now that is a bit nuts. She must be young!

CG - first, I love the baggy too! Nice to have some clothes that actually are now! And I think MN has it way worse than we do. I'm a wuss about the cold weather too but not enough to move I guess. I just sit here and complain about it. :-)

79 below!!! That's arctic! 30-40 below is as cold as I can remember around here. And dry doesn't begin to describe it! I am slathering on so much lotion right now so I don't end up resembling a really big alligator bag! :-). The seasons are pretty though and all my family is here too. Besides, we may get heat and freezing temps but non other natural disasters like mud slides, hurricanes, etc. I just feel like I'm in a pretty safe spot.

A girlfriend on mine who ironically lives in MN also loves heat and sun. She can sit in the sun when its 104 outside and not even break a sweat. She also loves to sleep. She said she thinks she was a cat in a previous life since all they Sonia sleep in the sun all day!

      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.
