Of course I am. But my cravings take over my body and I can't help feeding those cravings. I'm like a woman possessed. just pray to God everything will be all right. When I mentioned this to the co-ordinators they told me to do my best. I even asked if I should be moving my surgery but they didn't seem to concerned - which worries me a bit. I guess they've done enough of these to know what they're doing.

Hmm, just few little things here and there that are kinda adding up. But I am thinking postive and looking forward to the surgery day.

On the side...I am trying to get one of those TickerFactory things. I found the site and made one. How do I put it on here?

What kind of things? Please share...I know that Dr. Mumford's clinic has a more personal approach - the surgeon met with me personally. I chose TLBC because it's closer to where I live. Kathy was also very nice and the nurses I spoke to where also quite helpful and supportive. I also like the type of support they offer. I'm sure everything will be fine.

For the tickerfactory click on UserCP at the top of the page and then

click on Edit Signature and paste your link from ticker factory there.

Hmm no idea. I go to the Tickerfactoy web site. Make the chart thing. Then they said to cut and paste the to where I want it, and what sort of program (hotmail). I did that and that is what came up.

Hmmmm computers can be frustating!

At this point I dont think I have any other options to be honest with you. This is the last resort. Just like they say "I have tried everything".

I had to make a major change..I think this is pretty major eh? :)

      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.
