Hey guys, I'm back. Just haven't really felt like posting much since I have no air conditioning. All I've felt like doing is sitting here and melting.

Anyway, send me your updates and I'll get the spreadsheet posted.

Snaggletooth---I love Paula....Dont you just want to roll everything in flour and fry it after you finish watching her. She is just so adorable. Even prior to surgery I would feel guilty eating some of the things she made...But I cant stop watching.......

Sunny, we had a great time at Kings Island yesterday, and i did good eating. For lunch I ate Subway, only the meat, cheese, some pickles, black olive, and Tomato, not bread, and then later they got pizza and I ate a little cheese and 1 pepperoni, and a small piece of the hard crust. It was so hot, I drank almost all day long, and wasn't really hunry until after we got home.

dmtjet, Hunter is only 3, so he'll go to preschool next year. Still trying to get the potty training done. Hope your daughter is doing better. I remember having oral surgeries, 3 in all, and it was no fun. I think I'd rather give birth again!!

Maria, to avoid reconstuctive surgery, try to add weights into your excercising. It could help.

Frusterated, or shall I say, "not so frusterated anymore", congrats. My DH and I just had our irst time on Friday evening. Even almost 5 weeks post op, he was still scared of hurting me. Things didn't go to well, but we'll get better, it just takes practice!!!

Laurend, are they coming to fix your air?? Seems like it's been out for a while now. For some reason I'm unable to get the spreadsheet to come up on my computer, but I'll keep giving you my updates. I'm down to 212 this week.

Kathy, glad you had a great meal out with the family. We don't go to Olive Garden much, as my DH doesn't really like Italian, unless it's my cooking. I love the salad, and would go there just or that, but have to wait 3 more weeks for that. Did you give your DH the certificate or the trip yet??? How did that go??

Chim, how's the mushy stage going for you? Still hungry or are you satisfied with the new foods?

Dini, how's it going today? Sorry i didn't make it back on last night. My step son gets on and then doesn't want to et off the computer, so I let him go. He doesn't have one at home, so the only time he can get on is when he's here.

Caolin, cazulay, you ladies doing ok today.

only4me, I couldn' t watch the food network. Too much temptation for me. I have a hard enough time with the commecials on the TV.

So I went out today and treated myself to a new set of nails. It's been a while, and I went to a new place. They do these pink and white permanent french manicure sets. A little more than regular acrylics, but they are awesome, so I went for it. LOVE them. I figured I'm going back to work tomorrow so I gotta look good, right!!! Have to plan out my meals for tomorrow and get then ready tonight. For some reason I feel like tomorrow is the first day back to my real life. A little nervous, but ready to go.

Snaggletooth and only4me, I love watching the food network too. Don't forget, you have to roll it flour and fry it in butter. With Paula, you can't forget the butter. :)

laurend, I can't believe they havent fixed your air yet. Jeez, I would die with out air, it is sooooo hot here.

Lynette, glad you had a good time you did great with the eating. Be sure to let us know what you prepare for lunch tomorrow for work. I go back the week after you and I am a little nervous cause the food at work is awful.

Frustrated, good to hear you are not frustrated any more :)

Jeanie, how's it going. I went to my family reunion today. I ate several different veggie casseroles and brought some home for tonight. I didn't eat too much. Just ate slow and socialized.

They're going to be here tomorrow. If I survive that long. It hasn't really dropped below 90 degrees in my apartment.

Well, I just called them about it on Friday. I kept having to go out of town, so I couldn't call to have them fix it (my landlord requires residents to be present when repairs are made). Plus, every time I would get ready to call them, it would start working again. From what I can figure, the air conditioning unit's low on freon or whatever. It would work sporadically, mostly when I would first turn it on. Not anymore, though. Now it just blows hot air. And of course, it had to COMPLETELY break during a very hot weekend. I'm just hoping that they are able to fix it before Wednesday, because it's supposed to hit 99 degrees.

Hi Everyone,

Laurend- Sorry about your AC. But melting is a good thing. We're all melting. Yeah!!!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

My daughter's boyfriend has been sleeping on the couch for 3 days because his AC is broken too. You will die here without an AC. I think it was Sunny that said she lives next to hell. That makes us neighbors cause this is hell. One good thing about this two story house is two ACs, if one breaks we got a backup plan.

Lynette - Good luck with the potty training. Training my son was a freakin nightmare. He held it for over a week, and I was giving him laxative. I won't tell you where he finally let it go, but a clue is he couldn't hold it once he hit the warm Water. AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

You probably could hear me screaming down the street.

Did someone say Paula Dean, I love her, she is my idol.

I watch HGTV and the food network all day.

Last night I found a recipe for protien balls on obesity help.com

I'll try em and post the recipe.

Dini - Sorry about things, hope you have fun in Italy anyway.

Mango, I have to get up at 4:30 am, and I've been sleeping in every morning for 5 weeks now. It's going to kill me, but at 2pm when I get off, I plan to come home and take a nap with my son, a very long nap!!!

I'm going to take a book to bed around 9 tonight and read, just a little to make me sleepy, and then I'll hopefully be out.

Sunny, I scrambled 3 oz of egg beaters with a slice of turkey bacon, cut up, and a slice of cheese for Breakfast, and for lunch, I've decided to take the vegetable Soup I have left over with a few crackers. For snack, I've got a cottage cheese double. And I made sure I have no money so the snack machines won't be tempting at all!!! So I'm all set, except to pick something out to wear. Wonder what still fits!!!!

That was just on about 2 days ago. I couldn't believe. I had to go so I didn't see what she did with the fired butter. What did she do with it? Obviously it melted.

What a nice problem to have...nothing fits cause its too big :whoo: I haven't tried egg beaters before but I will definitely buy some when I go to the store. I see everyone keeps talking about scambled eggs. Is an omelet more difficult to eat? I thought I would try one some morning. I think I will make some vegetable soup this week so I will have it next week when I go back to work.

      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.
