Thank you all for your support. I don't know what I would have done without you. When I can't talk to any one else-you are here. When I sent the email the other day, I was crying so hard I couldn't even speak. I was all alone here at the house and needed to be with someone. You were the first ones that came to my mind. I hope you know how important each of you are to me. I appreciate the way that you have taken this newbie in.

Grandad is doing AWESOME. He went home yesterday and feels fine. ;-)

I can vouch for that. Since February, I've gotten 3 warnings (two on the same night) and 1 speeding ticket. :)

Lethal Woman-Where in the heck were you going in such a hurry? Hot date?

I can't believe that my mom hasn't ever gotton a ticket! She told me that the police escort was going to slow for her and so she actually motioned for him to move over and past him right up!!! I don't blame her. My grandad is the sweetest, most giving, Christian man I know. The thought of losing him is more than I can bare. I can't imagine what it must be like for my mom. I am just so thankful to God that he is ok.

.

Well, the night I got TWO (count em) 2 warnings, I was actually having a gallbladder attack and had made the mistake of driving 3 hrs to my mother's house. I was trying to make my way back home in rather severe abdominal pain (no lie), so yes, my foot was a bit heavy. I contemplated going to the ER but I waited til the following morning. That's a good excuse for that particular time.. but, I will have to say it's not the ONLY time I ever speeded. :) lol So, when the guy actually wrote me a ticket on the THIRD occasion, I had no qualms about it. I deserved it much more than that once. lol.

(sorry about the hijack of this thread. )

No problem about the "hijacking" I just consider it a kind diversion. It's always nice to be able to laugh when you are having a hard time. :pirate Grandad was on the beach fishing the last time, I talked to Granny! They always spend a couple of months at Padre Island this time of year..They are so full of fun! I hope that I can be that way when I get their age. I hope they both live to be healthy hundreds! They worked hard and did without all their lives and are now enjoying their retirement. I wish I could now:slots and shows in Las Vegas and Laughlin, Horse races in Ruidoso, Hunting and Camping in Colorado, Fishing in Padre, Carnival Cruises!!!

      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.
