Happy Mothers Day, my bariatric pals! What special things do you have planned?

We celebrated early this year because tomorrow is reserved my FIl's 95th birthday. I made deconstructed Crab & Shrimp Louis -- an old classic salad that originated on the west coast -- for my parents for lunch today. It was great, and would be lovely for a ladies luncheon type of event (or for entertaining your almost 80 year old parents B)). I tried two different dressing recipes hoping to find a favorite, but the reviews were split. A lot of prep, but worth it! Here's a pic after prep, but I served it on the patio. I had iced tea as planned. Now I am having a glass of chardonnay. :)

My mom, kiddo and myself did a three generation Mother's Day..... Vegas Style at the casino yesterday. Laughed our butt off and had fun. Was a nice day for a road trip. We were going to shop and do garage sales, but the 40 degree weather and ice cold rain inspired us to be naughty indoors instead. We had a blast.

My brothers have plans with Mom tomorrow, and hubby and daughter are taking me to a Rent-a-horse place to go trail riding. :) Supposed to be a gorgeous day in the low 70's.

Wishing all the moms a wonderful Mother's Day!

      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.
