Opening the door

I had my VSG July 28 and feel awesome. No pain, no nausea, no nothing. I feel really lucky. Was 345 at my highest and just yesterday dropped below 300 (I didn't think it was ever going to happen).

Just wanted to say hi and hope we can talk some time.

Hey Burnout! Nice to meet you. Where are you at on this big planet? How's it all going for you now? How was your transition back to "eating" after the liquids, mushies, etc?

(wandering into the "men's room", reprogramming the big screen tv to only show C-span and home decorator shows....replacing the beer with fruity foo foo drinks...replacing the chips and salsa with celery sticks and carrot slices. Turning around to look...."hmm...it needs some doilies and frilly curtains! I'll bring those next time!")

tiptoeing out......shhhhhhhhhh

Sorry guys..I'm in a bit of a "troublemaker" mood today.. if I offend anyone ...well...just shove it all back out the door!

Funny thing...the re-programming of the tv?...I have a story.

I had a friend who's husband cheated on her. They had just gotten a brand new huge tv with all sorts of bells and whistles. She blocked all channels except the Lifetime channel. You could also program this tv to show a message on the screen at a set time so she set it to show various messages every half hour....like:

Spineless bastard

cheating louse

mother fu**ker

pencil di*k

adultrous jackass

scum sucking pig

etc etc....(you get the point) ... she then packed her bags and took the tv remote, and the instruction booklet with her and left!

and no....it wasn't me...but I wish I'd thought of that!

hehehe..

and just before i forget, tracey..i dont mind that potpurri but those celery and carrot sticks are going right in the bin..how dare u!

      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.
