I need help guys today is my birthday and I am 10 days post op. Every year we went out to my favorite restaurant and a movie, but now I need a new tradition. This is my second birthday without my mom and it's already an emotional day I just want to do something special. Any suggestions?

Go to a salon with a couple of girl friends, get a massage, mani, pedi, etc. You'll feel like a million bucks and really enjoy a good movie! Happy birthday!

Well, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Why not still go to the movies? Just take away the restaurant part. And what a great birthday gift you've already given yourself. Maybe you and the girls in the family can go get manicures and pedicures? Have a mini makeover day? No matter what, just think about how awesome your "New Year" is going to be. :)

Happy Birthday to both! My birthday is coming up soon and my family tradition is drinking and having their favorite dish made for them. But this year all I asked for was money or spa packages. Ooffa511 what part of New York are you from cause I live in manhattan.

First, Happy Birthday!!! I agree with the ladies--do something for YOU-mani, pedi, facial sounds perfect. This journey you are on should be all about YOU taking care of YOU!!!

I lost my mother in October and understand how difficult it can be doing those things without her.

I agree with the others; do something for YOU for this birthday. A pedicure is a wonderful indulgence and will make you feel SO much better. I'm sorry about your mother. I know how hard that one is, especially when you're early post-op. You're in the same spot I was last year, having a birthday while still on liquids. Just know that your mother is an angel in heaven who is watching over you and she IS proud of you, even more so because you're making such positive changes in your life!

Happy Birthday to you! :)

Happy birthday. Do something that is all you. My birthday is coming up soon and I told my husband I want to go bike riding along the lake front. Do they have carriage rides near by, or how about a boat ride. Depends where your at.

      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.
