Thats a good idea Gaffer.

It helps to be a compulsive liar. I have no problem lying to people, although I dont make a habit if it, and I am not able to lie to those I love.

There is this girl at work who is so nosy, and the biggest gossip in the office.

I finally had to tell her that I had a wager with my wife that I could not eat out for a year, and that was the reason why I could not go out for lunch after the 10th time she asked. When she asked what the prize was I told her it was a 50" plasma. She never asked me again.

Hey I know what you mean Andrew. The only people that I know I am doing this are my mom and dad and they are not allowed to tell anyone.

I have been lying to everyone left right and centre. Never thought I had it in me but hey sometimes you just have to protect your right to privacy. :)

Hey, me too. Only a very few people know I had the band. I overheard someone talking about another lady who had it done as though her weight loss wasn't real and she had "cheated". I commented that it is still hard work no matter what tool you have to assist you. I was so happy that I hadn't told anyone I had the band. Maybe when I'm more confident but right now the way gossip in the office goes - NO WAY. So I understand how you have to tell "little while lies" to survive.

Hope everyone is having a great week. One day at a time....

At what point is it ok to take this tape off the scars? They said it would just fall off,well it's been 9 days and it looks like it was just put on despite all the showers. Not that I want to show off this lovely tummy to anyone but it really is ugly so can I just go ahead and pull them off???:)

As long as you can see that the incision is closed and nothing is open anywhere, you should be able to take the tape off. That's what they told me when I had my gallbadder out.. :)

      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.
