I'm a 26-year-old, weird, and awkward paginator who would rather stay home and play video games than go out. I'm quiet and shy, but get to know me and you'll find someone who loves to laugh and make people smile. I love to be creative too by writing, drawing, and crocheting, even though I feel like I'm not any good at them. [emoji4]
Hi Neri, I'm curious, what does a paginator do?

Hah! Very good. But, doesn't that all get automagically done now by software?

Hi! I am a 36 year old mother of 4 (3 boys and 1 girl). I have been married for 16 years. I am an accountant. When I get any spare time, I love to create (mostly painting but also up-cycling items). I am a tried and true sports mom (mostly soccer). I am a ginger who loves to have fun and laugh. I am very anti-drama so the only drama I like in my life is tv based.

This was a great topic!

Hello, all! I'm a 41 year old mother of two. My daughter is 20 and in her third year of college, and my son is 18 in his first year. I've been with my husband since I was 15 years old, and we have been married for 22 years. I'm a Paralegal for the state of West Virginia. I've been overweight all of my adult life. My highest was 320. Weight at surgery was 243. I'm super excited about this journey!

      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.
