I want to go roller skating this year! I looked into it before & loved roller skating as a child, but wouldn't do it other years b/c of my weight. Now that I've lost some of my excess weight & inches, I'd love to do it this year. I know that no matter what I do, from now on I don't want to go out to eat for my birthday. I don't want my birthday to be related to food anymore. Depending on what we do, we might eat while we are out somewhere, but I don't want the actual focus to be food. I want it to be how great I feel for getting my life back & being more active!

I have always been pretty good about treating myself, so there aren't a lot of things I long for. However, for years, I have wanted a Coach duffle bag. My birthday is August 24, so if I haven't bought this for myself by my birthday in 2013, it will be the way that I Celebrate my birthday and my sleeve success. http://www.coach.com/online/handbags/-men_coachoriginals-10551-10051-13089-en?t1Id=82&t2Id=13089&tier=2&LOC=LN#1243

      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.
