A philosopher once said, "With great power comes great responsibility." (just kidding about the philosopher thingy...it was from the movie Spiderman) BUT the author of the book, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck", Mark Mason changed the wording around, "With great responsibility comes great power." So true!

I thought it was from Gremlins#1. I remember the older Chinese guy saying it when picking up Gizmo and taking him back,to his shop. And at the end, Gizmo says in his little voice( Howie Mandels voice-over) "Bye Bye Billy".

People in my family used to say "People in h*** wish they had ice water!" Well I had a Flubberdoodle moment the other day. I said "People in ice Water do feel like h***! " Maybe I should check this out if I ever fall through the ice during an OHIO WINTER?

You are a battery
Some people energise you
Some people drain you
Too many of the latter and you will be no use to anyone, least of all yourself.

A thought for this Beautiful Saturday morning.
I fall
I rise
I make mistakes .
I live.
I've been hurt but I'm alive.
I'm human
I'm not perfect but I am Thankful!
Besides I was not born to be Average but Spectacular!

The greatest challenge in life is discovering who you are.
The second is being happy and also satisfied with what you find.

      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.
