I hate raw onions due to the lasting effect they have on me for about two days. Headaches and horrible breath.

Cooked onions, sautéed onions, onion rings, onion Soup, no problem. Love 'em even.

Name is Sharon. Have always been a pretty laid back, easy going person, easy to get along with. Nothing extravagant or out of the world. I'm so at ease with the simple things in life, shelter, food Water, clothes and family/love. Doesn't get any "simpler" than that ;) lol

I initially started my journey in 2012 with getting the lapband and my name at the time was myjourney2012. Now almost 3 years later, I'm having my lapband removed for gastric bypass, hence this is my journey again.

this has always been my nickname - from the time i was a little girl - because i was always pulling practical jokes on my Aunts when i was younger they would call me a Devil - and since my real name is Dava Lynn and Devil Lynn sounds like that it just stuck - so that is what I have been called my whole life. Well that and Big BUtt Bertha...lmao!!!! (not said in a hateful way) When i was about 5 my uncle actually married a woman named Bertha - you can imagine what happened - I asked her - so... do they call you Big Butt Bertha too? hahahahahah!!! she was very high bread and she didn't laugh too much at that to say the least...but everyone else did!!! hahahah!!!! The Devil strikes again!

When I started using the internet years ago, I didn't want my real details online, even my first name and a friend suggested kate and I have stuck with that, where ever I have wandered on the world wide web. Funny really since I joined the 'July' group on Facebook and the members can see my 'real life name' there.

On Bariatric Pal the nick Kate was taken so I added uk, as believe it or not I'm from the UK :P

Invictus means "unconquered". There is a poem by William Ernest Henly by the same title that has gotten me through some discouraging times.

      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.
