I feel for you regarding visiting the in-laws My husband's family are evil he has 3 sisters that are so greedy the fight over who gets the turkey carcass to make Soup. For real! They are mean spirited and can be very cruel. I hope you don't have to deal with that!

We are going to my mom's , my dad died almost 2 years ago and my mom moved to a small apartment and when we visit my brothers kids always come over to stay too. They are bratty and yell alot. but they are soooo cute. And I love to spoil them!

It is a 4 hour drive. My mom lives outside of Winnipeg and I 'll probably do some shopping. I didn't tell my mom about my band. I am not sure she would get it . She would think its too extreme. I've been dieting since I was 10 - 11 years old with her help:speechles I won't get into that.

I have avoided my in-laws by sending my husband with the kids stating work issues or other plans that could not be broken.

Sometimes it is nice to stay home alone.

soooo.....this morning I get a call at 5:00 am (not a good sign) ...Mr Yoda was already at work at this wee hour so I had to get the phone straight from my deep slumber.

The phone call informed me that Mr Yoda's dad was rushed to the emerg in the middle of the night and was in ICU. They didn't have a whole lot of info (those in-laws live in Niagara Falls). So, it was a bit of a nail biting morning waiting to find out some useful info. He is okay now but is, however still in ICU and expected to stay there for a few days. So.....change in our plans obviously and we are off to the Falls (before going to Burlington for our turkey gathering) to see him first.

Makes me feel kinda bad for complaining about what I was complaining about. Seems so inconsequential now.

Anyways....I am hoping that this TGiving will be something to be thankful for and nothing "bad" will happen to him.

No she isn't very big. Maybe she doesn't want to gain weight. Have a good weekend Yoda.

      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.
