You musta gotten a good sale there, Lu! I called my local Dick's, and they have them -- but NOT on sale. They're $100.

HOWEVER, I'm going to go in and take them the Famous Footwear coupon and ask the manager of Dick's if they will honor the 20% off. If they say no, I will order them through FF and just wait. Won't cost me anything to have them shipped, and they'll come right to the door.

they were on the sale rack w/croc flip flops - summer stuff,

DH found them for me as i wasn't looking there - and they had a tag on them (size 8). i went around & there were several in size 9/10 - but no where else on the floor.

Beth - oh yeah! Edy's no sugar added fruit pops - mine are 25 cals - tangerine, strawberry and rasberry. Heaven for my mouth!

I lived on the tangerine one after surgery. I hadn't bought any recently. I need to add those to my every growing grocery list.

SF Fudgsicles - yummy! They have been saving me from buying and eating everything chocolate in sight lately! I never used to crave chocolate and lately, well, it is all I want!

Thanks for all the drug suggestions. I have some ginormous pills and they taste awful. Can't imagine crushing them...ick. I also have some that are sustained-release. I'll check with my pharmacist. The nutritionist I saw also recommended Isopure...the clear crap. For that alone, I don't trust her! That stuff is vile :blink:. She warned me about the pills sticking, even the tiny ones. She was about 90 pounds and dumber than a box of rocks. Met with her in the vending machine area of the hospital. Found that a bit scary. We had 5 whole minutes together. I was bored with her after 2. The staff working with my surgeon were much better when I talked with them at a seminar. I have no idea why I got stuck with Cafeteria Barbie.

PJTP: I am now addicted to blueberries.

This is the version I bought to work in. They are called shape-ups. This version is optimize, but they also offer metabolize and another one that I can't think of at the moment. If you click on the picture, it will take you to amazon's website. I never found them here, but I live in BFE so you may have better luck in CT.

Hehehe...

Speaking of, I found the work guy I want to hire. Omg... too cute! Sandy, curly hair, blue eyes, a bit shorter than I typically like, but if what is hinted at under that shirt is what I think it looks like, I don't care. Oh yeah, did I mention he's an ex-Marine? I BEGGED him to give us a good quote so we can give him the job. I could watch that for some time with an umbrella drink. :huh2:

As a matter of fact, I'll start sawing joists out of my attic in the hopes the roof caves in. :blink:

I know, it's not online. I had to call. Going there tomorrow and hoping they will take my 20% off coupon. Otherwise I head over to Famous Footwear and order them there.

If you all don't find the Sketchers, there's another brand that is similar. They're MBT and may be the original of this type of shoe. They really work you out! I found some on eBay and got a good deal. They also have a website www.mbt.com I think. When they close out a style, they reduce the prices. They also have a lot of sales. These MBTs are more expensive than Sketchers though. I have a pair and I love them! Also got my mom a pair...she loves them too.

Okay, I checked and that is the right web address.

When's your date, TPG? I'm sure you've mentioned, but my short-term memory is... well, I forget what it is.

Wait... so there's different ones even in this shoe? I was thinking there was only one kind, just different colors. Crap, more research...

      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.
