I'm a baby boomer and guess you could say I still have a bit of the hippy chick in me.

Grew up watching Ed Sullivan, Soul Train, American Bandstand, Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits.

Music ran from Motown to all the Beatles years, David Bowie, The Police, Van Morrison, Joanie Mitchell....to current day from Sade to Adele.

The styles of the day ran from crop tops and bell bottoms to maxi dresses and floppy hats, go go boots, ratted hair sprayed hair and heavy eyeliner to the most torn up jeans you could find, long straight hair and peace signs.

I loved the times....and still have my signature style, but these days I don't have to wear a tunic to every event, I'm starting to get my sexy back on!

Peace & Love!

Another baby boomer, 1948.

Grew up in the Bay Area, Mickey Mouse Club, Bonanza, Ed Sullivan.

Music was definitely the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane and all the San Francisco sound. Lived in the Haight and Big Sur, then settled down, still in the Bay Area.

Happily retired at 55 when my husband and I took off for 5 years in a motor home. Loved New Mexico, Utah, the whole southwest.

Now back in the Bay Area, readying the house for sale and readying my body for the remainder of my great life with surgery scheduled for November 21.

Looking forward to going on the road again as a healthier person, able to do so many things I couldn't last time.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Kate

      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.
