LOL @ Susan...have I become that predictable!!! hehe. I did have another reply written but opted for the more kinder, gentler side of Yoda!!!

I know they mean well; it is just frustrating, especially since this issue was already addressed in this thread!!!

:)

I'm sitting here trying to plug my ears...the kitchen floor has now been ripped up and they are hammering (I think just to annoy me!) the subfloor in (THIS time....they didn't do it last time....hence the problem!). :cry

So, here I sit....I already worked out for an hour and a half this morning and I'm wanting something to eat but the kitchen is inaccessible. So, I am munching on BBQ peanuts (not many...just a handful) but they really aren't going down very well.....kinda hurts. But do I stop? Nooooooooo...I'm determined (like the sick puppy I am) to finish my small handful. Do as I say, not as I do! (and I wonder why my ticker ain't movin'!!)

:tired :guess :paranoid

I'm not a popcorn lover (I'm a chip girl....the bane of my existence!) so I very rarely eat the stuff. However, I have heard (again, everyone is different) that popcorn is a real big "no-no". I do know that some doctors also advise against eating popcorn. To be honest, I'm not sure of the reasoning behind it and it is not something I've investigated since I don't eat it anyways. Now...if it was "no chips"...THEN I'd be lookin' into it!! :kiss

What two movies did you see? We are big movie buffs.

Mr Yoda just called from work and I told him you asked if he was nervous yet...he said, "being that it is still 3 weeks away...no ...but as the time gets closer I will likely be nervous". I think he will be more nervous about the pre-op diet. But, he has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more willpower than me and so if I did it, he will be fine! I'll just keep reminding him!

I finished my peanuts.

And....the hammering has ceased for now!! ahhhhh!!!! :nervous

Ahh peace for you. I have a 9 year old so I can't remember that last time we saw adult movies - if you into the G rated ones...we say Firehouse dog - which was adorable and great for both kids and adults; and Are We Done yet - which sucked for both kids and adults.

We are having a night out this coming Saturday - any movie suggestions?

We recently saw "The Shooter" with Mark Whalberg and both really enjoyed it. It was a "sit on the edge of your seat" for the entire movie (& Whalberg is a hottie...so that didn't hurt!).

The new movie "Disturbia" starts on Friday and I've been looking forward to that.

Of course being in TO you will have a much wider selection than us! Enjoy your date!

Andrew nominates Yoda as new Canadian thread moderator.

Really, some of these posts are getting ridiculous.

I tolerate the posts, ignore them if they don't apply, I'll even respond to them if they are of interest. People are making honest mistakes by posting to the "most recent posts" link.

I also tolerate the comments made in response to the wandering posters.

I myself have accidently posted to the Australian thread. No one accused me of being unhelpful. At least I don't think...I guess I could go check.

Cheers everyone!

I just brought all of the receipts to my tax man and he took care of it all. He actually put the medical expenses on my husbands income taxes because it gave us a bigger refund.

Question. If you borrowed the money to pay for the surgery, is the interest on the loan tax deductible?

      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.
