Elmer Fu_ _?

I know an Elmer. He stutters.

But he's the nicest guy you'd ever wanna know.

Now we have an Elmer's pancake House, but Dawg and I haven't been there since he first arrived in Boise, back in April of 99. :)

CBMI (according to NIH website) 39.1

i.e. I wouldn't qualify for surgery anymore! (not like I did anyway with insurance...)

Well Herrroooo September thread! Ok, I posted in the August thread about the tattoo but I wanted to share it here too.

Yesterday I decided I wanted a tattoo to kind of cover my diaphram scar. It's color has been bothering me. My skin, pale around my belly and my scar was very dark.

I wanted something significant and relevant to why the scar was there. The scar meant "change". The Scar represents the Changes I wanted in me. I wanted to lose the weight, become more active, live longer, look better. It's the Scar of Change and thats what the Chinese Symbols mean.

Forgive me if this picture offends anyone. Please send me a PM if it does. I'll take it down.

The tattoo looks excellent, might have something to do with the canvas too tho. You look super skinny.

      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.
