Hey guys, Tuesday the 5th was my 46th birthday. Guess what I went and did? YUP got me a tattoo, my FIRST one. I LOVE IT!!

My grandfather always planted Sunflowers when he moved into a new house. So I got one put on my foot to help ground me.

Here is one of me getting the tattoo. Then one of the guy who did it. Then the actual tattoo.

I love it! My son is in the Coast Guard, making a career of it. When he first got in, he got several tattoos....and they were not small, on his back and calves. I hated them and have teased him unmercifully. I have grown to like them though, but have not let up on the teasing.

When I get closer to goal, I'm going to have a butterfly done on my upper "hiney" and surprise EVERYONE.

Your sunflower is adorable. I want to see a picture of you whole lower leg so I can get the full picture. Congratulations!

      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.
