Hey J, its all good. I know exactly where you were coming from!!! I was coming from the same place!! I am just tired of HAVING to Celebrate every stinkin' time I turn around because there is a bday. We have a huge family. My MIL has 13 brothers and sisters. DH has three brothers and they all have kids and we all live in the same town of around 50,000, so we are pretty close. We all live within a mile or two of each other. Now you can see my problem!!! We could be eating out very frequently if I give in to "come out to eat because its my bday" sentiment. I was just a little high wired yesterday because out of the ten phone calls I got about my bday, the first thing was, "where are you going to eat?"

Don't take what I say to heart when I am off on a tantrum.....it happens quite often.

HP, what size did you order? I thought the bike shorts were stretchy stretchy, so they would fit for awhile. Now I am nervous about ordering some. My LBS only carry up to XL, so I am stuck til I fit in those or try online.

I am pouring over maps and blogs trying to find the best bike route to michigan. Indiana/Illinois is the stumbling block right now.

Does that mean that is where you are at??> I am staying 1.5 miles from Disney at the Radisson. I was supposed to stay at Gaylord Palms, but I didnt get my reservation in time.

I was also supposed to be going with 2 co-workers now I am coming by myself. Not very happy about that!!!

Thank goodness.

Hey J, you're a Genius!! Could it really be the twenty cups of coffee a day drinking pattern I have fallen into, that is keeping me up all night??

I had not considered how much coffee I was drinking until your comment last night, so I started counting today. WOW!

You are not really drinking coffee? Are we not supposed to be caffiene free?

I've been reintroducing coffee to my life with a whopping dose of guilt because I was told it was a no-no.

Shit dude, if you are really drinking coffee, stop it. Hello.......and check your suppliments for caffiene.

Watch out for the banging head ache you'll get though!

I really have been tagging the coffee pot trying to cope with the lack of solids. I will do my best to stop it. Guess I have to find some other coping mechanism. Going jogging tonight weather permitting. Maybe that will help.

JC, that's rough, having no solids. I didn't have to do that presurgery.

Watch how much calories out to how much calories in you do...just to keep from passing out. You know you've got your own group of mother hens over here looking out for you.

      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.
