Well, it has been a beautiful week here in Greensboro and Winston Salem, great weather (compared to Seattle:-D), great food and good business. Thank you North Carolina! Back home today, I miss my DH, my son and my fuzzy family members too!

Funny you ask, North Carolina was great, I loved everywhere we went, but unfortunately I found out that or of my credit card purchases resulted in a scam of my credit card and a fraudulent purchase two days after I was home. Luckily the transaction was rejected and I received the fraud text and have since canceled the card. They tried to buy $350 of stuff at a drug store. But otherwise NC was great!

Hopefully you were able to enjoy some of our great barbeque while you were here in NC! I have found that in addition to being a good source of Protein, if done properly it is also very tender and 'band friendly' so long as you chew like you are supposed to! Glad you enjoyed being in our state and I am sorry for the one scumbag who tarnished your trip!

Thanks! I didn't get to eat any bar-b-que this time, but I did get have one of my southern favorites, grits! You just don't find grits in restaurants in the Pacific Northwest. So far the credit card thing has been mostly painless, I am chalking it up to "stuff happens"

      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.
