It looks like I have similar reading taste to you.

I enjoyed:

Sookie Stackhouse series ( fun & sexy but no 50 shades)

An e book series called Heller

The Book Thief(historical but good)

Room(about a kidnapped mom and her son-- emotional but good read)

If I think of more I'll post;)

Ohhh I read "Room"- it was so so good!!!

Just finished "Still Alice" by Lisa Genova. Really liked it.

I like the books by Elin Hildenbrand- sorta beachy good reads. I believe most of them take place in or around cape cod.

"House of sand and fog" by Andre Dubus was a wonderful read

"The art of racing in the rain" Garth Stein had me in tears

I could go on and on and on

I really liked Room. Some other books I've read and enjoyed recently are: We Are All Welcome Here, The Kitchen House, Saving Ceecee Honeycutt, The Glass Castle and Half Broke Horses- I'm also listening to The Devil Wears Prada for a more light/funny change. ;) keep the good recommendations coming!

      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.
