Please don't tell me it's PB!? :( LOL

Haaaa, Guffaw and oh yeah YATFF (whatever yatff means!!)

The one I was thinking of is something like ROTMLA. I know that's wrong but something like that.

Thanks Cloe....I never realized that or looked at it that way....that IS helpful!!!

I feel bad for Mr Yoda though....as some of you may know, he has slowly but surely lost about 25 lbs (not banded....just doing things "better" along with me) but of course since he doesn't have the band he does the "yo-yo" thing a lot (that I'm sure we are all familiar with!). So, this week he gained 4 lbs!!! Eeeep. And there was no reason really that he should have....I hope he doesn't get too discouraged.....I mean, he doesn't have a tool like I do. I feel bad for him when that happens. He seems to take it all in stride but I know deep down it frustrates him.

Anyways.....yes, almost half way!!! Maybe by Xmas I'll be half way; that would be a kewl goal!

Aww... I feel for Mr. Yoda. Mr. Mandi is also struggling. He's been going to the gym when I do, and workin' his ass off, and hasn't lost like he's hoping for.

But yes, new goal, halfway by Xmas?!

Poor mr. yoda and mr. mandi. Funny you dont think about men getting upset by the scale, but i guess they are more like us than we think sometimes.

Maybe Mr. Mandi's weight is now muscle? Muscle is good.

And Mr. Yoda is doing well. Afterall, he doesn't have The Gadget!

Mandi, maybe he hasn't lost because muscle weighs more than fat. That's a big motivator for men.

Rough week at my end. Mother-in-law was rushed to hospital Tues night....pulmonary embolism (sp?). Layman's terms....she has several blood clots in her lungs. It was very scary for awhile. She is still in ICU and will be for awhile yet and likely will be in the hospital for quite a while. Geez, her BP got down to 70/43....I'm no doctor but I do know that isn't good! Anyways, I didn't know much about this so I read up on it online (sometimes too much info is NOT a good thing) and that is how we realized really how serious it was. So, either they don't know that or they do know and weren't telling us. Anyways, we went to see her yesterday (they live 2 hours away) and I know that helped Mr Yoda.....being able to see her....but she sure did look rough and is still on oxygen etc.

They think this is likey a complication from having her knee surgery (both knees replaced) 6 weeks ago.

Anyways, fingers crossed that things will be okay and she will progress. We know she'll be on blood thinners now for at least 6 months.

So, between her and the father-in-law health probs ........never a dull moment.

Just thought I'd share.......cross fingers for us.

      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.
