This is very silly, but you know what? We deserve some silly! Silly is carb free!

It was recommended that you have a pillow for the ride home. These are a nice sized pillow for that trip home from the hospital, and I've been using it at my computer desk to protect my tummy. Mine came from a great couple of co-workers, and the other thing I love is that you can get one to suit your personality!

I had a lot of fun shopping for tiny utensils and dishes from Crate & Barrel (I want to make having small portions fun, and the spoon has been great for the liquid stage)

I've been going charm crazy lately. Pandora doesn't have a stomach charm, but this is a big deal, and deserves to be commemorated!

My husband and I would have liked a crescent moon (like my new stomach), but the moon charm had a face on it, and that seemed kinda creepy.
So we improvised with the one called "Speckled beauty," because now my bites are supposed to be that size. It's a nice visual, and a way to stay on track with the small bites.

On a more legit note, I'd encourage people to read their doctor's web sites. My doctor has all of the follow up guides posted on his site, and it's really helpful.

      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.
