I have searched the CCRA website and can't find what I"m looking for. I definitely do not want to tell this gal... she IS nice, but has a big mouth, and wouldn't personally benefit from me educating her about it!

I'll look a little harder on the website and see if I can find something.

Thanks guys.

My mom left a voice message for me telling me that my grandma (dad's mom) died this morning. It wasn't really unexpected, she hasn't been 'well' in a long time... been in a nursing home for maybe 11 years, with very bad Alzheimer's and I'm sure not in a good state. We hoped that this would come to 'put her at peace', so I guess it is good... much better for her. I hadn't seen her in a really long time, but my dad did go visit more often. Anyways, yeah, kinda sad... but relieved that she's not suffering anymore.

My condolences Mandi. You are right, she is no longer suffering.

You can also call a CCRA hotline for answers to your questions. I am sure that you can ask them anonymously if you prefer.

Condolences on your grandmother. In some ways it is a blessing. Try to remember her for the women she was before she became ill.

The computer has a built in camera that has little 'filters' you can apply weird things to the pictures you take, such as:

      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.
