Angela, didn't you say you bought a new scale?? So are you sure you are comparing your current weight with the same scale you started with? It has been my experience that no scale weighs you the same.... at least that sounds good, anyway!! :biggrin1:

I wouldn't worry, especially with all the hiking you have been doing... you are probably building muscle!!

P.S. Did you ever catch that cold you were worrying about???

I took lots oc vit C and Airborne and I feel fine! :clap2: I weighed myself on what I think is the same scale at work...but maybe it was a diff. one...they all look alike! I will go by the one I bought and see teh change on that one only! The new one says 220-221, the hospital one that had said 220 the other day said 226.7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:sick

Since I will not be having Thanksgiving dinner either, I thought I would get my dear mom to freeze some dressing and giblet grave for when I can have some. I love mom's dressing. Good luck to us all. Finer and thinner here we come.

I just noticed that when I am writing in a hurry i have lots of typo's!:embarassed: Well... I am sure you can still figure out what I am trying to say huh?

No Thanksgiving dinner for me either! I might try to make a little turkey Soup, and a bit of cranberry sauce as dessert... I plan to work that day, but you know...in hospitals there is ALWAYS food!!!:)

Good luck to everyone!!! I leave Sunday for MX.... :(

Chris, thanks again for doing all this stuff.... now you are even simplifying the list to make it even easier to spot who is going when.... You are wonderful!

Angela, I thought you said you were leaving for S.D. on Friday.... are you staying there for a couple of days before you go to Mexico?

Melany and Frogger---- are you there?? Good luck tomorrow!!!

I gotta get back to work now, but hope you are all having a sugar-free (but fun) Halloween!!!

Hi,

I am going Sunday and my surgery is Tuesday the 7th...in Mexicali. I hope my San Francisco clothes will be fine down there... it might be much warmer there than I am thinking. :)

      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.
