So I was in my shower this morning taking a long hot one like I usually do. Because its where I do most my thinking. So I was looking at my scars and started thinking of the week after my surgery and how I had looked at these same scars and cried and thought what had I don't to myself?! And then I had a panic attack and nearly fainted in the shower. This morning I thought of that moment and realized that these scars are marks of a journey that changed my life for the best. I'm skinner and although still fat I don't hurt as much anymore my feet don't kill me at work. And I'm happy. So I began to laugh and laugh because i was so silly back then. and didn't realize I was doing it and Dave smashed in my bathroom door cause he thought I was screaming. So I'm skinny with a broken door oh well!

lol great story! I will try to remember that when I get to the seemingly inevitable "what have I done?" stage.

Isn't it nice to know you've got someone who's so ready, willing & quick to come to your rescue if you're in trouble!?!?! Too bad about the door, but the intent was noble ;)

      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.
