Yes I did get the Unjury! I only have tried the chocolate so far, but it was good. Not Slim-fast tasting at all, so I was very happy. I'm trying not to do shakes... but I probably should. I'm PROBABLY just trying to be cheap and not spend the money! I should ask for some Unjury for Xmas! I have some unflavoured to try yet, and that's the one I was most curious about.

So I'm back from the party. It was pretty fun. We did get 'swag', and I think THAT was the surprise. It's 12:30 and I'm home, but that's ok. The last thing I want is to be hungover again anytime soon. I just wasn't feelin' it tonight... my Caesar's were not very good, and now my stomach hurts. They had lots of food... what they brought out first was 99% deep fried stuff! Mushrooms, zucchini, fries, wings, and nachos. I had a little of all that stuff, except the fries. Went down fine... I think after I've had a couple drinks, I can eat waaaay too easily. THEN they bring out a veggie tray, a meat tray, and a cheese tray! That's what I REALLY would have liked!

Oh yeah, our house guest is gone as of TODAY!!! He's coming tomorrow to move the last of his boxes, and that's that. He's staying with another friend of ours for the next week, then going to stay with his girlfriend for a couple weeks, and then finally moving to Ottawa.

How nice it is to not come home to someone else! To not have to shut the bathroom door.... to walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night in whatever you happen to be wearing.... not having him using all my A1 sauce... not not being able to get online cause he's downloading another season of the office.... ahhhhh....

Argo,

A size 16... you should be sooo proud. Bte... I found a great bra store on line. I am a big busted girl (40 G) and I have been hunting for good, supportive, pretty bras. It's from the states but low shipping costs (4 bucks and I paid no duty). It is http://www.laurensilva.com/

Hi Mandi!

I'm so happy things are going well for you, makes me so happy!!

I'm curious though, are you drinking the Unjury cause you think your not getting enough nutrients, or just to supplement a meal. I probably missed the beginning of the conversation.

Thanks Dawn... I checked it out. They have some nice stuff. I will keep them in mind next time I am in need of bras!

Yoda, ME TOO! All I got was a tshirt.... another one! This one is Large. Of course it's a girls/ladies large, which means it's freakin' SMALL! (american apparel... bah! Their XL (womens) isn't even as big as a mens small! So off to the back of the closet with the rest of my 'inspiration' clothes!

Cloe, thank you, thank you! I'm excited for you gettin' your fill tomorrow! Make sure you don't let them give you too much! Let us know how it goes.

The Unjury thing... I think that was when I'd just gotten my last fill and wasn't eating much of anything. Right now, if I was to do Protein Shakes, I'd probably just have them if I was really hungry in the morning, which I'm usually not, and I can't eat much/or anything in the morning anyway.

Mandi, Congratulations about the size 16. That's awesome.

I also discovered that after a few drinks it's a lot easier to eat. Things go down a lot easier. Actually pre band I used to love wine with meals. Now I can't drink it at all, it gives me instant heartburn.

While we were away in Lake Placid we always go to the Cottage Inn. It's a little bar/restaurant on Mirror Lake. Anyway I ordered a Margarita, it tasted so good, I ordered a second one. They free pour their drinks, I watched her make the second one and there was very little mix in the drink. It was almost pure Tequila. After drinking the Margaritas I had the toppings of 3 pieces of pizza and part of the crust of 1 piece. This tell me to stay away from booze.

haha, yeah, exactly! Maybe it's good to know in some situations that you might want to eat a little more than normal, that having a couple drinks beforehand will make that happen.... but then again, you could drink TOO much, eat too much, and then try pb-ing drunk! Doubt that's much fun!

I imagine that would not be very enjoyable, but it still made me laugh!!

Thanks Roxanne :thankyou:

So, today was back to "day 1" of the workout routine. LEGS! I only did 2 sets of each, instead of the 3 I'll work up to. I'm hoping that being smart and stretching afterwards just might eliminate the same kind of pain I had last week. Cross your fingers for me!

I'm having crazy thoughts... like going out and buying 5lb weights, and even one of those exercise balls!!! :omg: So many of the exercises I do there, I could easily do at home. Maybe on my off days... that might be a good idea. While I'm watching tv or something. Hmmm... we'll see.

      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.
