Okay, this is so off topic it's not funny LOL, but I'm so excited I had to share.

On Friday, the hubby, daughter, a friend and myself are off to the Maldives for ten days. We're meeting my Mom and Dad there for a wonderful pre-Christmas relaxation getaway. I've never been to a tropical island, so this is extremely exciting for me. But even MORE exciting than that ..

... when we leave the Maldives, we've booked 4 days in Singapore for shopping. Last night I realized that Singapore is where a friend of mine had Breakfast at the zoo with an orangutan named Ah Meng. I love love love orangutans lol. They're my favorite animal and I've always wanted to go to Malaysia to see the sanctuaries there, but haven't gotten a chance yet. So this morning I looked up the zoo's website and booked the 6 of us in to have breakfast at the zoo with Ah Meng. From my friend's description of it, it's absolutely amazing. He said she didn't have the best table manners (stole his toast once lol), but that it was a really great experience.

This might even be more thrilling for me than 10 days laying on the beach LOL.

I didn't know where the Maldives were a few years ago either lol. My husband's taught me all kindsa of stuff.

The Maldives are a group of islands, off the coast of India. It's also where TomKat are currently on their honeymoon lol, but I'm sure they're off on some private island that costs $10,000/day or something haha.

We're staying here .. I'll post lots of pictures when we get back. Have to get one of those underwater cameras for snorkling.

      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.
