hehehe i am at a point in my life where i really don't care what people think of my views. I have found this is only one of the few things I have total control over. and the way i figure it...if you can't be my friend because of how i vote or how i pray, then you weren't the type of friend i want. :)

Don't be a hater!! LOL I love all ya liberals! hehehehe

This was cool! Of course, my fiance is so far authoritarian right that I am considering more pre-marriage counselling.... :faint:

I'm hanging closest to Ghandi...but am still a little further right than that. The epitome of a "moderate" :)

If James Carville and Mary Matlin can be married, then I am sure you and your fiance can make it work.

Note: Mary Matlin ran George Bush Sr's campaign in 1992 and James Carville ran the campaign of then Governor (and presidential candidate) Bill Clinton.

I grew up down the street from James Carville! But you're right, excellent example of opposites attract ;)

Honestly if DH didn't have the same views, I think I'd kill him in his sleep :heh: LOL We bicker over politics as it is, and we are damn near exactly the same in thinking. lol

I make Ghandi look like a fascist. ;)

For you who see a lot of political differences between you and spouse, do you know your Jung/Myers-Briggs/Keirsey type? If not, it's a way to determine and categorize your personality preferences (that's the long story short version). I deal with it extensively. Take a little online test (fairly accurate, this is a decent one) and compare your results. It's often true that opposites attract. If you're interested, shoot me your results and I can tell you much more about it than the site does. :)

      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.
