Hi Bloo,

I'd like to see your face. You sound like a sweet heart.

Have you always lived in the middle east? I'm not terribly familiar with that part of the world as you know.

What do you do for a living? Just curious. I know you're so looking forward to getting your surgery behind you. I can just see you shrinking out of your old body into the new. I know you'll be thrilled.

Jewel

Hey Bloo....how did surgery go? We're all in the same boat and we just moved over to give you a seat too! You know how they say "the grass is always greener on the other side of the hill (or fence)..." In our case it is completely TRUE. Welcome to Bandland! Keep us informed with your progress!

Hope all is well, Bloo.

Interesting, I had a very dear friend/love in college who was from Syria. His nickname in his frat was Bloo. I even made him a sweatshirt with the greek letters on it and embroidered his nickname on it. Just an interesting remembrance.

Nice to see you here and :welcomeB: to LBT and bandland!!!!

      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.
