Dee-I didn't look at you like you had two heads...I was just amazed that a complete stranger was as thoughtful and sweet as you!!! That is a rare trait to come by in a person!!

Well, the wedding was tonight, I will try to put up some pics... it is amazing what hairdressers can do. She transformed my stick straight,baby fine chin length bob to this:

Munch, you look fantastic! And that dress is great, too.

I do. It keeps life fun!

Ohhhhh, I'm so nervous about Tuesday. I'm glad I voted early . . . do you have early voting in Colorado? We've had an amazing turnout so far.

Mini, yes we have early voting here in CO. It is amazing how much attention our state has gotten from the candidates.

Did you guys see the SNL skit last night with Tina Fey and McCain? Hysterical!

SNL has been fabulous this year. Tina Fey is brilliant. Yes, CO has been a real focus. No one comes to Utah. We don't even have the ads on TV.

I heard last night that over 1/2 of the registered voters in Colorado have already voted! Can you believe that? It's great!

We actually DVR SNL every week. I didn't know McCain was going to be on it this week! After I read your post, we sat down and watched it. LOVED IT! I'm impressed - McCain did a pretty good job. The QVC segment was the best!

I am soooo nervous; I am afraid of the Bradley-Effect, you know, lying to pollsters and being racist when in booth.

Oregon is all mail-in elections, so we mailed ours two weeks ago. It has been a difficult wait!

I loved the Oregon mail in vote. Then you can really take your time with each issue, etc. I think it's a great way to do it.

I'm so nervous I can't sleep at night. It's bad.

Okay, today is my four month bandiversary. I've lost 30 lbs . . . not a ton, I know, but a good start. DH has been taking pics of me every month, but the change hasn't been very noticeable cuz I'm SUCH a slow loser. But when I compared my presurgery pics with today's pics, I really could see a difference. So I decided to swallow my pride and share a few with you guys. In case it's not obvious (but I hope it is!) the pics with bandana are before, the others are after. Here goes:

Thanks! The before pic with my big fat butt sticking out is so awful, but I figured that you guys are friends, so what the heck.

I really am starting to feel like I'm having some success. I still have a long way to go, but that's okay.

      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.
