So this afternoon i got my flu shot..The lady who gave it to me has known me for years as does everyone else that works at that pharmacy...I just rolled up my sleeve and she saw the deep tissue bruising that is still there since surgery...

She looked at me and said well aren't you going to tell me what happened to you...I said no not really...she said whatever you say I cannot pass it on I would lose my job...

I said okay then.................and then it spilled out!! she asked me how much I lost so far and I told her and she said dam girl I am bigger then you....I am so happy for you.................

this one is going to be hard though she said because it is so wonderful that I have lost that much....I said well I did not do it the right way totally....then she said, I suppose you would not do it again then.....................And I said hell yes I would!!!!!!!!! All over again if I had to!!!!!!! And that's the truth of the matter.......

      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.
