That's awesome! I haven't been to the beach since dinosaurs roamed the earth & I think I'm too old now to do so but I get happy hearing of other people experiencing joy!

Go for it!!! Just started sketching a possible tattoo for myself that seems apropos here.

Excuse the lack of drawing talent...but think this is powerful, and a good reminder for us all that we only get one shot at this life thing...better to learn to live the challenge instead of waiting for clear skies :-)

So true! I doubt that any of us when our time is over will say "if only I had eaten one more Boston cream pie." We only get one shot at this life thing. I for one am ready to start making the most of it.

Just rode a waterslide over the weekend, was too afraid last time we went that I would look like shamu coming down and the splash that would follow, but down 35 pounds and feeling great!

      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.
