Oh wow, that sucks!!

I will be there March-13, if I get my taxes back by then. If not I will have to move it back also.

Do you have to do another 2 weeks of the diet?

So sorry Jeni and I know nothing anybody can say will help but I'm going to say it anyway. I do believe everything happens for a reason. When something like this happens, for some reason, it always makes me think back to all the stories that were told after 9/11. There was several different stories but this one really stands out in my head: A lady was walking to work in a brand new pair of shoes when a blister started to form on the back of her heal. She knew she really could not be late for work again. However, the pain from the blister was getting really bad. So, as she was passing a drug store she noticed that it was not crowed. She looked at her watch and quickly ran inside to buy a pack of Band-Aids. Nothing went fast from that point on inside the store. The lady in front of her was extremely slow and need a price check. When she finally got her Band-Aids she had problems putting it on the back of her heel. She had problems getting it opened and then it stuck to her sock and then the next one folded over on itself. You know how bad things can go when u are in a real hurry. So, when she finally succeeded with the Band-Aid she started jogging down the sidewalk to the World Trade Center. She was 5 minutes away when the buildings collapsed. She was a single mom with 3 kids. There were many other story just like this one.

I hope this helps make u feel a little better anyway.

Thank you for sharing that. I'm pretty bummed out because I'd made some really good contacts with other VSTers and I've been on liquids for 3 weeks with the last 3 days being clear. And today out of frustration I think I consumed more calories than I have all month. But all I can do is focus myself again. I'm very fortunate to have strong faith and a supportive husband. Still bummed but it gives me additional time to lower my BMI so I don't have to pay the extra $1000 that is required for those with BMIs over 50. I'm pretty close to 50 so I'm confident I can do it. Plus I was able to get a lower rate on my new flights.

      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.
