Costa Rica - Im thinking Jurrasic Park.

Those pix were wonderful. My personal favorite was the one where you were on the chez taking a quick siesta! My ideal vaca spot is on the beach in the sun & sand. You took me there for a brief minute - thanks!

And the waterfall and waterpark - just beautiful!

The orphans were heart touching. I bet you wanted to take each one home!

Oh, and Mary, on the food tray... the loooong round thing in the middle of the tray, what was that? Looked kinda weird.

There was a set of twin girls that were about a year old that I would have loved to bring home with me! They were all so adorable and you could tell they were surrounded by lots of love from their care givers. You can see the twins dressed alike in a stroller in the second picture.

      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.
