I found a copy of a prayer that I really needed last night!!!

The Woman's Prayer

Dear Lord, I pray for:

Wisdom, to understand a man;

Love, to forgive him and;

Patience, for his moods.

Because, Lord, if I pray for Strength,

I'll just beat him to death. AMEN!!!

I Love love LOVE that. Lastnight we were up till 3am arguing because my hubby got laid off permenantly from Ford in September and his unemployement is running out and I don't feel he's looking very hard for a job. He was an inventory supervisor and now he's saying he'll just go get a part time job at Wendy's. How does a man settle for that. I don't understand it and I'm VERY frustrated!

Ok.. I vented enough.

I had a sugar free pudding for Breakfast this morning. I've already had 17 oz of Water.< /p>

Josette he didn't mean that, he was just being sarcastic. HELLO He just want's a little break. I'm sure he is proud to be the "MAN OF THE HOUSE" so don't stress. Just be sure he sees all the bills especially grocery store receipts.

Josette, I am with Teresita on the sarcastic part...Some husbands just have a tendancy to use it at the absolute wrong time or conversation..Sorry about you all having problems...Sometimes I get so aggrivated at mine that I could just strangle him, but then there would be the entire problem of where I would get that extra income if he was gone so I loosen my hands a little from his neck...lol

Hi All,

Feeling better today.......still have cramps:mad: , but haven't succumbed to cheescake and coke:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: . Your right sarge, today is another day. I am going to fill up my water bottle right now!:speechles Do you guys feel sick if you drink too much after eating? I have to wait about 45min-1hr after eating before I can drink my Water. It makes it hard to fit in enough protein/food. How do you guys do it??:mad: I'm afraid I'm a bit too tight d/t unable to eat solids well. I am trying to just deal w/it and hope it loosens up a bit. I go for my 3mo appt 2/14/07. I can have a slight unfill then if it persists. I PB on anything solid (PB'd up one dorito last night....One!!) Soup, chili, and refried Beans are my meals for a while. I have been drinking V8 juice to get in some veggies!!:)

so far today:

Breakfast: cup of sugar free hot cocoa

lunch:1 cup chili w/1cracker

Turner24 just eat or drink what you know works. Use this time to lose more weight while you wait to get an unfil. As long as you can get your fluids in so you are not dehydrated that is good. Chili and Soup is good for you too. LOL

Bandida you are doing so great right now that I know once you get your band your weight is going to fly off. Keep it up girl.

Bandida, the weight that you have lost pre-band will make a difference in your recovery. (at least that is what I am told).

You will do so well.

      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.
