There's only ONE FLAW IN WOMEN

By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his sixth day of

working overtime. An angel appeared and said, "Why are you spending so

much time on this one?"

And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has

to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts,

all replaceable and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap

that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure

anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart -and she will do

everything with only two hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements. "Only two hands!?

No way! And that's just on the standard model? That's too much work for

one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish."

But I won't," the Lord protested. "I am so close to finishing this

creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals

herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days."

The angel moved closer and touched the woman. "But you have made

her so soft, Lord."

She is soft," the Lord agreed, "but I have also made her tough.

You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."

"Will she be able to think?", asked the angel.

The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think, she will be

able to reason and negotiate."

The angel then noticed something, and reaching out, touched the

woman's cheek. "Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told

you that you were trying to put too much into this one."

"That's not a leak," the Lord corrected, "that's a tear!"

"What's the tear for?" the angel asked.

The Lord said, "The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her

sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief

and her pride."

The angel was impressed. "You are a genius, Lord. You thought of

everything! Woman is truly amazing."

And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear

hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight

for what they believe in. They stand up to injustice. They don't take "no"

for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without

so their family can have. They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and

cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear

about a birth or a wedding. Their hearts break when a friend dies. They

grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think

there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a

broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They'll drive, fly,

walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart

of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and

love. They have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their

family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

      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.
