I saw a cousin today for the first time since my pre-op and surgery. He said he was very impressed with my weight loss (40 lbs). He said I actually don't look like the michelin man anymore. Wow. I just said thank you and changed the subject.

You are a better person than I am. I don't think I could have let that pass without comment.

LOL That kind of reminds me of the Three stooges bit where one is carrying a long 2x4 and turns around and misses the other guy, but continues on around and smacks him in the back of the head! Here in East Texas we call that a backhanded compliment.

JCP,

Here in the South we have a saying that conveys compassion for those that are just too ignorant for their own good: "Bless their HEART!." ;)

You handled the situation well. Don't know if I would have had the class not to make a comment.

CONGRATULATIONS on your success!!!!! :D

Blessings,

Kathleen

Tell him you lost weight by taking a high intensity crotch kicking class, then show him what you've learned.

      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.
