I bought a black robe of a very nice fabric. If it weren't for the drains tucked inside it is practically evening wear. Good thing cuz I w e a r it to Breakfast every morning at the hotel. Tomorrow I s travel day. I feel some anxiety over it.

I had no idea you live so close to me Jane! Seattle is just a hop skip and a jump up the freeway from Portland.

You're doing great! It sounds so painful and I am such a baby when it comes to pain. I don't think I could do it.

I have a 22 pistol. I can't shoot it. I have a really hard time with the kick back and the noise. I want to shut my eyes and shoot. It's wierd. I hope you do better than me.

My notions about the pain etc are way different than reality. I can sit and walk fine. I spent few hundred more on first class to be more comfy. I have wheelchair assistance arranged so I don't have to stand forever going thru customs.

The big challenge is moving slow to not risk complications. The tight garments help protect fascia. This photo was me when I had more drains tucked in fanny pack. I am down to 3 now.

Love the fanny pack. They come in handy. I even slept with mine for 2 weeks or so. Good luck traveling and enjoy those 1st class seats. I'm sure you'll be glad to get back home.

LoL Considering the common old world definition of "fanny" Its only appropriated that you sleep with it. :)

Is your hair naturally curly Jane? I could totally see you with a 50's style Elizabeth Taylor short 'do!

Yes that is natural curl but i am not quite ready to let go of my long hair yet. My caregiver showed me a new way to put my hair up that i cant wait to try - a going out hairdo! My hair doesnt suit current flatiron straight styles so i play up the curls to be different.

Totally love the languages of love. It taught me a lot about myself and to better appreciate how others' showed their love for me. Which style is yours? To express and to receive?

      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.
