This is hard to do, actually. All I can seem to think of are things I have to deal with every day. But here are the good things:

1. The cup of coffee my DH leaves for me in the bathroom each morning when he leaves for work (before I get up). Every day that makes me smile.

2. The "Mommy's home!" I get from two beautiful young ladies when I walk in the door every afternoon.

3. Taking pride in the fact that as a health insurance broker I can actually help people. (I am the only one I know who makes that a priority over just making a sale.)

4. Knowing that I am bringing home enough bacon to feed my family and provide for our futures.

5. My online distractions, LBT and others.

1. 20 minutes of solitude in the morning before anyone else gets up.

2. Taking the long way to work. It takes me 8 minutes rather than 5, but I get to go through farms and vineyards. Beautiful.

3. The angel that looks after me at work so I can do what I have to do. She runs interference when needed, screens my calls, cuts through any bureaucracy that befuddles me, respectfully and gently bullies me to get my paperwork done and makes me tea when I'm tired.

4. A few minutes each day to listen to music alone. My tastes are sometimes quite alarming to others.

5. Anticipation of the evening home with my family and pets.

1. DH, my life companion and absolute best friend. Our adorable dog. My job - I absolutely love what I do and have a very strong passion for doing it the best I can. Anticipation of the great things happening the following weekend. Spontaneous shopping trips. The time DH and I put aside every day when we get home from work just to lay in the silence and hold each other.

Guess I only have one.

      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.
