In the event you are "checking in" , and are just TOO busy, hope you have a great Christmas and New Year! , and that goes out to the rest of the "family" too ;) Cheers!

Welcome Ackmaui, Hold off on that coke, the desire will pass, I have not drank a coke in two years, I have had a sip of one and now they taste nasty, I can not believe that I use to live for a diet coke.

Any way, everyone have a happy holidays, me and my sweetie are taking off for small trip to see g-kids that we see only a few times during the year, I cant wait to see them, we got them the WII, I love mine, I hope they love it as much as I love mine.

Ok all take care and be Safe.

I had a huge craving for Diet Coke and now it is gone. I was supposed to have my two week post-op on Dec 25th but oops its Xmas so now the doctor can't see me until Jan 10. I am kinda bumming because it means an extra 10 days on only liquids. But I try to take it one day at a time.

WII is also called a Wii or WEE, it's a new gaming system out on the market and a very hot item under the christmas tree.

Ackmaui, can you call them about switching you to mushies, considering the time frame?

Welcome to the group ackmaui!

Dorr, I agree with Lucy, you look awesome and I can't imagine how you will look after the surgery! The guys will be knocking down your door.

It is almost that time again! The only good thing about Christmas is all the walking we get to do while shopping for stuff. The only weird thing is I have people stare at me now, which feels really weird because I am used to being the fat kid. Anyways, I think I have finally plateaued. I can't believe how well things have gone so far. I need to get my ass in gear after the holidays and start working out.

How are ya'll doing? Is everyone done with their shopping?

Hi Ackmaui! Once you give up Diet Coke for a while you won't want it anymore. I seriously think there are addictive chemicals put in there -- for the year prior my surgery I lived on diet coke -- now that I don't drink it, I find even the smell of it to gross me out.

Thankfully Christmas is almost here and the traffic in Miami will get back to normal -- or, as normal as it ever will be. But it's nice to have some time off to be at home with my husband and share some love and gifts. Happy Holidays to everyone.

I hope you DO at least call him or even his nurse. I can't believe he would expect you to stay on liquids through christmas just because they are closed! My Dr./ asst. sent me home with instructions to start the muchies before my post op. apt. I should think that if all feels well you should be able to start SLOWLY before you see him. BUT Do call his office! Good Luck and have a good holiday regardless.;)

Thanks everyone for the welcome. I am going to call the office but I am not sure if anyone is going to be there since it will be Xmas Eve. I am over my craving of Diet Coke. I don't even crave it anymore. I would however kill my mother for a Burger King doublecheeseburger!!!! However I am lucky because I live on a tiny island with no fast food restaurants. But OMG those cravings come out of the blue. I hope everyone has a great holiday.

      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.
