Help! I'm going to Phoenix in 11 days..very impulsively, to see old friends and hopefully heal from the last brutal month or so... I need help knowing what to take supplement wise..how do I transport Protein Powder? Also no clothes and I can't find summer clothes here yet.. Shop out there? I'm also afraid to reveal how weird my eating habits are....I can't impose and ask for special food, should I offer to pay for a grocery run? Girls, I have been in a fog for the last month..feeling overwhelmed by going.

I think it will so good for you my friend! A chance to get away and just do you and not worry about anything! Wish I could go too. ;) If I were you, I would just hit up a Walmart there and buy Protein and other things you can eat once there. Then you don't have to worry about taking it or your host worrying about anything special. I have never flown so don't know how to pack at all. Buying clothes there would be so nice too! Have a fun and safe trip!♥

Thanks, guys...yeah, that's better than stressing about it. This will definitely be the easiest trip I've ever packed for... I guess I'll travel like I did when I was 18 and moved ti Colorado with one suitcase. I'd feel better if i had at least one pair of shorts lol.

That's low blood sugar from not eating....you probably feel seriously terrible from it..get some dietary guidelines from your nut. juice helps a lot for this. Have you found a new surgeon yet?

Happy Sunday all. Went out last night to Celebrate parents 40th Anniversary. Took lots of family pictures so I thought I'd show the difference. I'm so used to being the biggest sister but now I feel normal. And it feels good! I'm the one on the left in both pictures!

Dori, you look amazing, girl!

Snowed in again! I'm making a pot of chili. Did oven fried chicken last night, but only ate a little with some steamed broccoli. Cannot stay in, I'm gonna go crazy! I'm used to being out and about, running around. Last nite, my body shut down and I slept for almost 10 hours! Up today, decided to clean out the kitchen cabinets. Round 2 of the snowstorm just started, so looks like we're in for a couple more days! I guess I'll prepare my tax stuff.

      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.
