Happy New Year, everybody!

DD and grandbaby are still in bed. They had a loooong day yesterday. Got on a plane at 1:00 my time and didn't get in until 7:30! Baby did wonderful and slept through most of it. She is absolutely THE most happy, placid baby I have ever met -- and her mommy was pretty dang placid herself. I don't plan on letting her go back to Houston. :Yawn:

PJTP that I'm watching the Rose Bowl Parade. I was in marching band in HS (flute/piccolo, then rifle). The RBP is 5 miles - can you imagine? Whew! We did the Fiesta Bowl Parade and it was only 3 miles but we were worn out!

I'd forgotten that everything has to be organic in the RBP - very cool!

Happy 2009!!!

Question: Monday (I think) there was some discussion on a thread somewhere (I've been searching and can't find where it is) about a book that was written by a guy (Dewey, I think) about lap band surgery that was touted as being pretty good. Anybody on here the author of that post who can tell me the name of the book and verify the author?

I remember that the day I was being filled I had actually found ONE Barnes and Noble store that had the book, and it happened to be right by my fill doctor. However, in all the excitement, I completely forgot about it.

Thanks!

**Question** - so I got another fill Tuesday. It takes me quite a while to get down a Protein Shake and a handful of nuts hurt going down (yes I chew chew chew). That seems too tight to me but I don't have the history y'all have. Opinions?

Thanks so much!

Give it a few days to see if it will loosen on it's own. Sometimes fills just get looser in a few days. When you get past what ever plan your doctor has you on after a fill, if you can't eat hard Protein like chicken without throwing it up, you might consider having a bit taken out. You'll have to chew the chicken until it's liquid in your mouth though.

Ok, no way I am reading 23 pages to catch up.

I admit I do a lot of skimming.

DD and grandbaby are still in bed.

Did you get rid of your other guests?

Yes we did, thank goodness! It would have just been impossible with so many people in this house. He took it way better than I imagined. He said, "Hey, family is family." That made it easy.

Did lots of visiting yesterday - brunch with one SD and her fiance; visit with :SIL/BIL; then to DH's ex-SD house; then to DH's other ex-SD house; then dinner with DH's ex; visit with other SD.

Question:: does anyone else think it is weird that DH's ex has on her bedroom wall, the wedding photo of her and her ex's (she has been married and divorced twice)? Not family photos with her children (I'd understand that), but the wedding photos?

DH says: female equivalent of notches on the bedpost. :confused:

      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.
