The Elevator Operator...



Recommended Posts

I was staying at the top floor of a very bad hotel. The service was horrid, the environment was unhealthy, I couldn't wait to get out. I was in such a hurry I didn't bother with my baggage.

I get on the elevator.

"Bottom floor!" I say emphatically to the elevator operator.

Without a word he closes the door, starts down, and stops at the next floor.

He opens the door and there is no one there. He waits, and waits, and waits, and I am getting mad.

He finally closes the door and starts down again.

Then a light lights up on the panel from a higher floor. He stops the elevator and goes back up!

He opens the door, no one there and he waits, and waits, and waits.

This time I am speaking up.

"What is your problem?" Go....down!"

He waits a little more then closes the door and starts down.

Finally, I thought.

He stops again, opens the door, no one there. He waits, and waits, and waits.

I am getting furious!

"Are you insane?"

He yawns and shuts the door, another light from and upper floor, he stops the elevator and goes back up again!

Am I in a nightmare?

Finally we are descending again but the irregular pattern repeats itself, down, stop, up, stop, down, stop, up, down....on and on.

No amount of screaming on my part makes any difference. He acts like he can't hear me.

We finally reach the bottom floor.

I am relieved to see the front door from the elevator but I have to know something before I go out into the free air.

"What is your name?" I ask him.

"Weight Loss", he says.

      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.
