Got home late last night. Was gone for 9 days taking care of my oldest after her knee surgery. Had the MRI on my hands and wrists. The RA wanted it done because of pain I'm having. Its either my arthritis' date=' or carpal tunnel in my opinion. For those of use with bad backs with hard ware it fricken hurts lying on the stomach period. But had a nice surprise. Lost six pounds while I was gone. :)

I went and got a few diff ones before I bought. I turned out not liking some. Quest are a bit more pricy than some but good. Glad I didn't buy a box of them before tried.

The only one I tasted was the coconut cashew, it wasn't too sweet. I got a variety pack from Amazon with 12 flavors so I can see which ones agree with me.

I am done 68#. I am in a stall. I don't want to and don't eat. This husband with a girlfriend makes me not care if I eat or drink. I have this weird taste in my mouth.

My hair is falling out.

You need to eat and drink. Or your going to end up in the er. I've been there with a cheating drunk. But when I finally was able to leave him he got what he deserved. Then he started to stalk me when I was out with the new boyfriend. When I got married that sent him over the edge.

      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.
