now that made crack up, too funny, thanks I needed that.

On the bright side of things, I just weighed and this morning I weighed 224 and just now, I weighed 222, guess I was full of it, bahahaha. Haven't been drinking like I should be tho and threw up my broth at lunch so don't want that again so the only thing I've had is a half cup of Jello and Water all day. I feel like I'm in the freakin pre op diet again. lol

All went well this morning with the procedure, no cancer, nothing, all looked good, whew! I was a happy camper since my brother is battling colon cancer and a tumor in his belly but feeling blessed at the same time. I know my obesity can attribute to cancer and having lap band a little over a yr ago has certainly helped with my obesity. Glad its all over with.

      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.
