I have an antibiotic for the infected incision and the surgeon was not gentle when he was digging around and cleaning it out. I almost cried or screamed or kicked him in the head. He wants to see me again Monday. I told him he had better send me flowers!

I have a question...I haven't had this really until now...but the last few days I have no appetite at all...did y'all go through that? I'll be 12 weeks out tomorrow...I mean, I'll eat some just cuz I know I should, but it's not as though I am hungry at all. We had our Thanksgiving at work today and I ate cuz everyone was, but I didn't want it at all. Just curious

I had that happen last week. I was literally forgetting to eat until late afternoon. I would try eating and I would only be able to get a few bites in at a time. I think I had 3 days where I fought to get 300 calories for the day. I just plain wasn't hungry at all. This week though, Im hungrier than I ever have been, and yesterday noticed I can definitely eat more than before...I know Im still going to be able to eat more, but it still scares the crap outta me. Maybe because I hit a stall as well at the same time? (This will be my 3rd. stall so Im hoping it won't be as frustrating this time ::rolls eyes::)

What is firefly? Only the best tv series ever that Fox fucked up. It's about these space travelers who are very much human and travel through various planets making deliveries,running errands and getting paid. The character development is nice,there's a mystery running through the episodes, and of course, a punitive republic against whom they must protest. It is witty, clever and IMHO, Joss Wheedon's best work to date. I think Amazon has it for you to stream? it was followed by a movie, Serenity, also very good.

Allegiant et al are another set of teenagers in a dystopian world where people are sorted into five groups, Abnegation, erudite, dauntless, amity, and candor based on their personalities, and are trained that way. Or are they? :) despite the inevitable comparison to hunger games, we thought the books stood well in their own stead.

Laura, your kids might like them, and since the last one was just released they could read all three in a row.

We <3 Firefly, Serenity and Hunger Games at our house as well!! I think I will be checking out Allegiant soon :)

I know exactly what you mean!!! I can eat about 1/3 cup of beef and veggie Soup now with crackers - where I used to could only do 1/4 cup it scares me soooo bad...I don't want to gain anything back or ever get back to what I was!!!

Morning all, I just love this thread because it's like the chat room only better...because when I'm offline, I can always just sit and drink my coffee and catch up.

So instead of etc. we can call this the permanent chat thread? :P

And there is waaaaay to much for me to comment on so I will stick with this: Definitely going to see the Hunger Games movie...thought they did a good job following the book for the first one, so excited to see how they handle the second one. My almost 13 yo is reading the Divergent series right now and talks about it incessantly, not sure I'm up to reading it also. She will probably start the 3rd book today. Seems similar to the Hunger Games and I did look it up on Wikipedia and had a hard time even reading all the stuff they there (ie. it didn't hold my interest) so I might have to skip this one. She is very much into the young adult stuff and for some of you who also are, there is also the Maze Runner (I think it's also a series of books, can't remember how many) but I don't think I saw that mentioned here but she was into that last year.

All I can think of is why did it have to be the week of Thanksgiving? Why couldn't I be forgetting to eat on the week Im cooking crazy amounts of food for days! Oh well..I think next year Im letting someone else cook for 15 people. It's dangerous for my mind to think about and then prepare that amount of food :/

      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.
