Haha. Now that's some funny s--- right there!!! I'd say nope! That's means you are totally at peace with your decision to move on with a new you. I find that so funny because I'm 58 and I have a tattoo if a rose and butterfly by my navel. Ok used to be by my navel now it's kind of on my side. Just wondering what that beast will look like in a few months... What that butterfly will morph into!!!??? Lol.

OMG. my surgery is Monday so I got the brilliant idea to take some before pics of myself. I just printed them out for my scrap book. Holy **** I look bigger than I thought I was. Yep, I'm hiding these babies until I can look at them and ask myself who the hell was that?! Lol

Omg...I almost forgot to do this. I have it on my list now! I can't believe monday is coming so quickly. Taking my daughter and her friends in to chicago today was a good idea. Time is flying. Tomorrow is clear liquids....then surgery!

Lol I have my nose and tragus pierced. Bags are all packed house is clean, laundry is done.. Ready to go!!! I asked my fiancée to hold on to my jewelry so he can stick them back in as soon as I get to my room. I've had my tragus since 2008 and I think my nose since 2009 so they are not new but I still have the original jewelry in them so I've never even had them out 15 min so I don't know how fast I heal or close. My cousin has her nose and eyebrow pierced and hasn't worn jewelry in them 10 years and they are still open where as a friend of mine has had hers the same length of time as me and her tragus was tight and almost closed in 30 min. So I guess everyone is different. I just don't want to have to go through the healing process again if I have to repierce, too much maintenance haha.

I have a friend that has her nose pierced and when she had surgery she took a bristle off a new broom and cut it down so it just fit in the nose hole. She said it worked great. Surgeon had no clue. Lol.

      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.
