I did the Real Age test that Paula posted a while back... And it said my real age was 17!!!

Must be a mix up there!

I cleaned out my kitchen long ago, but old habits don't die. Even though our old "goody drawers" are empty, I still yank them open every night hoping something got stuck in the back, or maybe hubby loaded them. But they're still empty.

The thing he said about roasted nuts got my attention. Apparently roasting nuts changes the "good fat" in them to a "bad fat" (as bad for you as partially hydrogenated fats). You should stick to raw nuts only.

Also, another thing I did not know is that you should not use Olive Oil to cook over high heat (changes the good fat to bad) ... you should use an oil with a higher "flash point."

      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.
