Strange, You should ask him that! :) Just tell him you're "not that kind of girl" and that he has to at least shake your hand and buy you some broth first. ;)

That is gross. I've been researching tummy tucks and every time I see pics of someone's removed skin I want to hurl.

My best friend is an ER nurse and she's finally learned not to tell me horror stories about what goes on at work. I lose my cool really quick when it comes to blood and guts.

I can handle anything but needles/IVs. I have fainted so many times getting blood drawn it is ridiculous and I havent ever made it thru an IV without fainting and I have had no less than 10

Hey StrangelyNormal!!

I am just finishing my recovery time with the bajamedgroup. I leave for home Friday morning! I am very happy with my recovery and have been virtually pain free (knock on wood, tap tap).I can't wait to get home and do my first post op weigh in. We went shopping today and it was the first time in almost a year that it didnt feel like I had a knife going through my right foot. I cant believe I feel a difference so fast but I do.

      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.
