Hi Girls, Sorry to hear about the job Bron. You just wait, you will show them but good!!!:)

I had a bad day yeaterday. I felt so shakey and weak. A combination of having MS and being on the liquid diet. I am doing well with it , I am a little bit proud of myself .

I am definately getting a boob job down the track. More money to save I guess.

Hi, How do you download a photo for your avatar? Thought you may like to see who you are talking to. Warning it's not a pretty sight!:) :biggrin1: Susannah

Susannah, go to the top of the screen and click on user CP and then on edit Avatar, upload it from in that screen. You might find that the pic needs to be smaller than a particular size (probably 100 pixels) to be used. ihave no idea how to resize pics (hence why my avatar is not a pic of me!)

We could all just post our pics in posts here if you want (although I have already posted some pics on the "before and after pics thread")

Hey Bron, Your pic is really nice. Last night I tried some miso Soup. It was revolting, I nearly hurled. That is one extra that you can have on the Optifast program. Yuk. :) Susannah

haha... best you stay clear of the Soup. Ive put on about 7kg since that photo was taken so my fave is now fuller (sounds better than fatter!!). Plus i had makeup on and thats something i dont do at present due to self esteem and basically a care factor of NIL. Hopefully that will change once im banded.

Susannah... im 20 days younger than you therefore i think i should be banded 20 days after you... so im giving myself the date of 22/2/07. Wonder if the surgeon will agree to that!!!! mmmmmmmmm... maybe not.

Hey, One week to go from tomorrow. I am feeling a bit nervous to be honest.

I am looking forward to losing the weight, and all the doors I hope that will open up for me.

You won't be far behind me Bronnie. Susannah

      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.
