hahaha...Fiddleman are YOU seriously googling everything on here. lol. You can learn from us...

Hehe, fully immersed. Kind of like that scene in 13th warrior where he finally understands the German language after listening and not understanding for weeks. :) I tried this technique when I went to Italy 2 years ago, fully hoping to " get it" by the time the vacation was over. After being there 3 weeks, I had picked up on some phrases and could order about anything I needed. Also figured out when Italians were making fun of us silly Americans. I hope to become proficient in another spoken language other then English someday, but you know what they say about learning languages when you are older.

My hat off to all those people who can fluently understand and speak multiple foreign languages. You would figure that I could become more successful at it as I know 4 musical clefs for different instruments and about 12 different computer programming languages ( proficient in 5). Maybe these are used by a different part of the brain then the spoken and written language. Who knows?

Lol.. Don't worry. You can learn Spanish...it is quite easy! Why don't you try one WORD a day. once you know the meaning, then try utilizing it in a phrase or a sentence. I love learning... my next goal is trying to learn French or Italian. Oui Oui

Omg...I bet! Its spring here in Ct and it sure doesn't feel like it. I wish I can walk but I get bored easily...I see ppl jogging with their headphones on and I just can't seem to find that motivation.

It's going to be 79 today! :) i love it! I cant seem to get motivated either! Today is my 1 mo surgiversary! i guess i'm waiting till after i'm 6 weeks out...i was told thats when you're in the clear for leaks...i think i may hit a plateau soon too so working out may be good!

I have a friend in CT! He lives in Stamford. Another from Bridgeport! I hope to go to out east sometime this summer! :) love the east coast!

It seems like a long time ago because i feel so good! i have no more knee pain, my sugar levels are normal, it's awesome! i struggle with Protein intake and Water, but i'm trying. My incisions are completely healed and they are small. I only had 4 incisions. I've heard some people get up to 5.

Ive been to NY twice and fell in love each time! It's beautiful! So different! Yes California is beautiful, we have a little bit of everything and you never run out of things to do. My bff is from NY and he fell in love with Cali. When you do decide to come to Cali let me know, i'll tell you where to go. Just depends on what you're in to! :).

Oh and i'm hooked on all the Housewives...lol Atlanta, NJ, NY, OC and Miami! So addicting!

Sometimes we are too hard on ourselves! Enjoy your vacay whether or not you lose the 10-15lbs! Just keep in mind that you're on your way there! Thats half the battle!

      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.
