Misty, how are you doing?

Just fine. IV is out, squeezy leg things are off, had Breakfast and about to shower. I've already dealt with work email too. I can't imagine not being able to run by Monday.

I reported her for spreading lies. I'm worried about the people she is influencing, especially pre-ops. It's very dangerous IMHO.

And we thank you!

Good for you!!! I had just typed up this ' Big big difference between stating your opinion or discussing your personal experience and claiming expertise....it gets scary when non-experts claim to know it all and present their personal opinion as fact. Even if there are studies to support your claim, it's still opinion and in my opinion, unfair and dangerous to present it as anything else. Please be cautious when spewing your 'facts'. ' and when I tried to post it, it was locked. Opinion and fact...,are very different creatures.

Okay, I don't want to start a new thread for this, but I have two observations from the doctors today. Despite my 5 day stall everyone is pleased with my progress. I get to go back to CrossFit in two weeks.

Second, if you are planning to bring your wife into your physical to help remember various things, and they ask if you mind if a medical student comes in, and it turns out that you are needing a prostate check, AND your regular physician asks if you mind if "Megan" the medical student also cops a feel because it's so hard to find men who are willing to let female medical students check a prostate, you might want to believe your wife when she says, "I won't peek." I totally didn't, but I was shaking in embarrassed laughter for my poor DH.

I personally think that although certain people espouse total and utter factually incorrect lunacy on occasion; I think people making personal attacks and being down right rude and offensive is a more of a wider issue on this website....

And it appears to go on with total impunity....

I wonder if part of that is that there's a fair amount of sarcasm and teasing that go on all around. I agree with you, Revs…there are some people who seem to have trouble keeping a civil tone. Then again, tone is so subjective. Sigh. I don't know. I am a-skeered to join a lot of conversations right now.

God bless him...I'd strangle a patient, I know I would.

. Okay, true confessions? I actually did weigh 2 outfits this morning in prep for tomorrow.... I should probably be medicated.

Lol I always go in a "light outfit"...and I will be wearing my flip flops instead of my big honkin tennis shoes.

      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.
