To answer the last person's statements....black entertainment television shows and award shows were created because grammys and oscars at one point were racist and black entertainers were rarely awarded for their talent and tv shows were created because diverse shows were few and rare. Even today....most major movies have white people starring in them, but I will say lately that has been changing and things are more diverse. Also, black people use the n word to make fun of other black people they know...when a white person says it they don't know if you are playing or being racist which is why its best for them not to use it at all...I'm black and I don't use the word but I understand why some use it and why some people should never say it

I never use the N word. I think it is mostly because it would be very out of character for me. It's just not in my vocabulary. I would sound like a real dork. You know, just like someone in their 60's trying to talk like a teen. If other people use it, I guess that's their business. I don't hear the word often.

I do not like nor do I ever use the "N" word. I have a biracial child and her dad says it all the time...I would always get on him as well. I don't care what color you are, the word is horrible. I can't believe that people think that its okay to say. I better not EVER hear my daughter use it or she will be missing some teeth.

OH. MY. GOD.

What the hell is wrong with everyone? It is a word. Banning ANY words is absolutely against everything that I believe. In fact, putting bans on words seems to give them power. Let it go, y'all...let it go...

If you don't like the word, then don't use it.

      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.
