Starting to freak out!



Recommended Posts

I am seriously starting to freak right now. Hell, I shouldn't even be on here, but I needed to let off some steam and try to relax for a bit. My first comprehensive exam is on Wednesday, I've got another on Thursday, and the third one is next Monday. And guess what? My advisor (who's giving me the exam on Wednesday) isn't returning my emails, so that's adding to the stress! Plus, it's the last two weeks of the semester, I have a shitload of grading to do (y'all know me, I'm a MAJOR procrastinator, so I have half a semester's worth of quizes to grade) and I have to give my class their final exam next week. On top of that, I need to do all my Christmas shopping, and then I need to finish collecting the data for my thesis and start working on getting it all together.

Seriously, I'm about to start gibbering over here. You'd think I'd learn that procrastination is BAD and that it doesn't get me anything but thinning hair, but no. Apparently I need to have it drilled into my head, REPEATEDLY. :speechles

What are the three types of keratin and which one makes up birds' feathers?
Um, alpha, beta.... Beta keratin is in feathers.

In mammals, there are epithelial keratins, hair keratins, and cytokeratins, but that doesn't really apply to birds.

      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.
