Ylluz - from Amazon.com I am a prime member, so shipping is always free. I got like 20 of them for $10.00

I splurged on the demitasse spoons/forks - they are super cute, for a set of 4 for each I spent $20

I didn't want to buy the plastic throw away cups with lids, it just seems so wasteful and bad for the environment. Not knocking anyone who buys them though, just hope they recycle!

I agree, my insurance had me do a 7 month program with doctors visits, dietician, etc. It felt like it would never get here. Then I had my last appointment, insurnace approval only took 1 week and 3 days. I told the office I wanted scheduled as soon as they had an opening and they said it would be the end of Aug. She called me 2 days later and said the 17th wich from then was only 19 days away. Time has flown. I know it will be a long road of recovery but it will be worth it in the end!!

Just got back from kickboxing class. Luckily I can put it on hold until after I'm cleared by the surgeon. There are still things I can't do at this weight. I can't do all the running and I can't do push ups. But on the slip side I CAN do lots of things like punching, arm work with weights, squats, so I guess it's all relative. I definitely work up a sweat that's for sure.

I was a little worried about money this week after getting a couple of higher than normal bills but I knew I would work it out. I opened my mail from my mortgage company ( I pay online and usually don't open the statements...bad I know ) and found a $420 escrow reimbursement! Yay me. Maybe this is a prelude of good fortune to come?

My surgery is in 5 days, 9 hours and 23 minutes but who's counting? ????

      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.
