Lol how cute! That dog doesn't want you to go anywhere! My cat sits on my head too and you would be surprised at the funky sounds that comes from his stomach!

post-262421-14454727928812_thumb.jpg I have a 65 pound lap dog lol. I understand your concern. I'm 3 weeks out and I've just tried to set barriers so she doesn't jump on me. She's a big baby so she likes to cuddle in my lap. When I came home from surgery she would sit in front of me and cry because I wouldn't let her in my lap.

I can totally relate to this! It's like they see something that you are using and they just take it the moment they can! I went to the bathroom. Was gone MAYBE a minute and holly stole my heating pad! post-262421-14454781933001_thumb.jpg

I can't tell you how much better my knee feels now that she's been laying on it for a while.

Therapy dog in so many ways. She's seen me through three surgeries and I've seen her through two of her own.

I've been close to all of our dogs......but this one is really special. I hope she lives a long and healthy life.

I just leave the pillow across my abdomen and all is well.

My first day home she jumped up in the recliner and stood there looking at me. I pulled my shirt up and showed her the new holes....she leaned in....leaned back.....looked up at me and raised her front left paw and dropped her head down.

She's stayed off my abdomen ever since. I keep the pillow there to safeguard against the younger dog....she's wide open and full of adventure and wouldn't know any better.

Plus.......that pillow feels great as it's warm and provides slight pressure.

I have a schnauzer too!!!

He is my EVERYTHING!

earlier when I was in my gym and doing wide grip pull downs, he HAD to be on the bench with me and even had to be so close that he was touching me.

I can't live without him and he can't live without me.

I adore my Tucker!

      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.
