Went to a Christmas gathering last night & decided to finally wear this dress: a little red cheer. Bought it from The Outnet earlier this year (bargain Victorua Beckham - Whoo hoo!) but was saving it for a ‘special occasion’ then decided every occasion is special so I should just wear it. Anyone else save clothing for some nebulous future ‘special event’ & then don’t wear it as no event is special enough or am I the only crazy one?

Recently visited the PL Travers, author of Mary Poppins, museum. (She was born in Australia not the UK as many think.) If you are familiar with the Mary Poppins’ books, movie or musicals you may remember with the scene where Mary measures the Bank’s children with a tape measure which shows their personality. They had the tape measure on a wall at the museum.

Turns out, just like Mary Poppins, my 5’3” height means I’m practically perfect in every way. Lol! Found a t shirt that said this & bought a size 12 CHILD’s! Good gracious. Proof below.

Ignore my flat hat hair and my extremely shiny face. (And yes my friend’s disagreeable without coffee measurement is true too.)

Think your way works too @GreenTealael. It’s nice to have the proof of what we always knew about ourselves 🤣🤣🤣.

      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.
