Well..I wasn't laid off but 10% of my coworkers were. It was awful watching them cry.

I'm sorry about the family deal. That does hurt..it's always the ones who take of everyone and does the most that gets back the least. It's totally normal to feel that way. You are such a awesome person and I can totally see why you are tired and needing a bit of time/appreciation for yourself. You totally deserve that. Try to make u a little bit of me time. :)

Glad you werent laid off. It sucks.

I swallow pills. I have since probably week 3 or 4

I even take flax seed. I did find my Vitamins etc at Walgreens in pearl form. They are easy to swallow. Hope that helps.

I still do chewables. I found them at walgreens too and they are good so I keep using them.

Thanks. Maybe I need my depression meds upped! ;) Going through the same thing with my sister too. She wants me to babysit for my nephew (who I love and dont mind having over) and the next day they have a party with a bunch of people I introduced them too and have been MY friends for years and dont invite me! I even took my vacation time from work 3 years in a row when they did so i could take my nephew for 2 weeks each year while they went away. Then she goes on a motorcycle ride party thing with some friends instead of coming to my daughters grad party. Gosh am I whiny today huh?? It just helps to say it to someone and then I will get over it.

Your not whiny!! That's just bullshyt of her and them!

Oh Dori..u aren't whiny at all! I'd be hurt by that too. I'd prob try to mention it too and just kinda throw it out there. I'm sure your nephew loves being with u. I'd be hurt she didn't come to the grad party ESP since she did the other plans. I wish u lived closer so we could visit. I understand getting it all out there to get it off your chest..u guys are my best support system too! I think I need my depression meds upped too but I am not sure I'm depressed, just feel very anxious with changes.

When is the appt with your surgeon for your back? Thought about u and hockey mom with a commercial I saw on tv today about the laser back surgery. I can't imagine living through that daily. U guys are tough!!

I have a question about Vitamins. Do I have to take chewable's still? I take about 12 pills a day!!

At my 3 month appointment my doctor told me I could start swallowing small pills... So it is totally up to your doctor. It doesn't hurt to ask.

      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?

      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.
