Hi Everyone!

Still on the liquid diet high of fast weight loss! I'm not doing too bad and haven't wanted to kill anyone yet, I figured I'd be at that point long ago! Only one more week of liquids and on to mushies.

I remember that first bite of mushies. I think I'll remember it forever.

It was a bite of cottage cheese, and I swear that was the best bite of food ever to cross my lips! You're doing great, Andy Liz! *hugs*

I remember flying to vegas once stuck in the emergency row with a married couple and I told the guy "if this thing goes down, you're throwing that open and me and her are outta here!" hahaha. He said ok.

My first bite of mushies was a bean Soup with canadian bacon. It was sooooooooooooo good!

I'm having a hard time right now. I'm three weeks banded today but the anniversary of my mom dying is coming up quick and one of my best friends just found out yesterday that her mom has terminal cancer and it's just bringing it all back to me. I want to EAT EAT EAT! Though I can't eat much I am making very bad food choices. Yesterday my calorie intake was about 1900 instead of about 900. I feel like I'm going nuts. Too much anxiety.

Dawg, tell them you intend to lead by example. You will open the door, jump out, and yell back "FOLLOW ME". Any sane person won't be waiting for instructions.

Oh, great NSV - my wedding band and engagement ring no longer fits me. It falls off when I lower my hand. Also, I got in touch with a long lost buddy from myspace. I have a wedding to attend in Puerto Rico next month. I need to get down another 20lbs and I will.

I don't know what is crackalackin...

But my grandma used to make cracklins!

She'd trim the fat off the pork chops, and chop it into little pieces, then fry those up in a pan. She'd use the grease and the cracklins to flavor some nice greens, or greens and potatoes, or green Beans.

As a kid, we'd always try to steal and eat the cracklins before she used them all to cook, they were salty and crunchy... and I think large contributers to all the heart attacks in that family!

How's that for details?

Grandma's don't know any better. They are used to cooking the old fashioned way, before all of the diseases were outted.

You can buy "Pork Scratchins" in the UK bars. Identical in all respects to Paul's Grandma's Heart Stoppers.

Add beer and it's... well horribly unhealthy but it is salty and... crunchy.

:confused:

      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.
