I got everything at Walmart for less than $10. The dish that says "Hope" was only $3. The gems were $3, and the tall skinny jar was only $1. I figure the one that says hope is pretty, and I will keep it out when I have lost all of my weight. I will pour the clear "fake water" that hardens over my gems, since I never plan to move them back to the need to lose jar. ;)

What an awesome idea. Something i have been doing is saving gallon jugs and for each 8lbs i loose i fill them up with Water and set them in a laundry basket. Then when i feel discouraged i go pick up the laundry basket. So far im 6 wks out and only have 3 milk jugs full, but it is amazing to actually fill that weight that i had been carrying around. I cant wait till it has 12 jugs in it, i wont be able to pick it up.... Thats all the excess we were carrying with us!

      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.
