Phoenix Countdown I love this!! She's going on one of my thighs hopefully for my birthday next month. Instead of a simple phoenix to signify rebirth and new life' date=' an actual woman. I'm so excited! =)) HW- 290, SW (4/8/13) - 270.6, CW - 187[/quote']

Very cool! I'm a wussy.... I don't think I could sit through a tattoo. Lol

I would get a tattoo of something that is special to you. I had my surgery on 9/9 and on November 1st I will be getting a tattoo of some poppies and 2 baby birds. I spent months trying to figure out what I wanted. I found an artist that is amazing and she was able to draw what I ebvisioned. You don't always have to have words. You will know what it means and why it is special. Good luck :-)

My favorite aunt has told me my whole life to "spread my wings" and live my life for me and I look at this step of getting the RNY as one of those HUGE steps. So I'm getting the words "Spread Your Wings" with the date of my surgery underneath

      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.
