Hey Meredith, Maybe she did or didn't notice, the main thing is that you feel good and your man Joe thinks your a smokin hot mama!:)

Hey All, I am going back to work next week, after having the required two weeks off. I won't have time to be as prolific a poster as I have been while off work, but I will pop in as much as I can. Don't worry about that!:biggrin1:

My other sister Rebecca does not think I should go back to work for a further two weeks. I asked her who did she think was paying the bills?

She offered to pay a months rent for me if I wanted to stay another two weeks at home. I find that I can't accept that. I am a very stubborn and independent person.

Thanks guys!

Do you feel ok to go back to work Susannah? I know that for me, I was going stir crazy after 2 weeks off and was keen to go back to work and have contact with real life people (as much as I love Oprah and Dr Phil, they aren't very good conversationalists hehe). Just take it easy when you go back and you should be right, do you have a very strenuous job?

Hey, I work in childcare.:) :biggrin1: I know, I know I've got rocks in my head!:) I actually love children a lot and really enjoy my job. I think I will enjoy it more when the weight comes off and I don't feel so wretched at the end of each day! I will not be doing any heavy lifting of any kind for a further two weeks after I get back to work.

I have not really been watching much telly up here to be honest, except for The Biggest Loser. I have been reading, and surfing the net mainly. Susannah

I think you should be right as long as you don't have to lift anything or bend lots or get up and down all that much. I really surprised myself in my first week back at work with how ok I felt.

I can't beleive how much some of them lost last night in the weigh in!! They put my loss to shame!!

      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.
