Totally off topic, and I promise not to turn this in to a thread-hijack....

WASA, are you EVER going to post your before/after pics? Maybe after your PS?

I truly don't have any before photos. Honestly, the only fat photo I have is one that was taken the day before my Dad died of cancer. I was not happy. My creepy sister wanted to take family photos. ??? My Dad was dying. I was just getting ready to give her the finger and she took the photo. That is my before photo.

After my PS I might, actually I probably will. But you know, there are strange people on these boards like the person that has been suspended under various IDs. Someone was telling me that she has actually stalked people in real time before. How much info do any of us want out there?

Denise822, Neveragain, KansasSooner, Shirley, Steve, Gary, Wendy, Lucki... quite a few people have seen me, can't you ask them what I look like? :huggie:

OK, I understand not wanting a stalker to latch on....

I could ask one of them, but it's just not the same... ~sigh~

I guess I shouldn't be so disappointed, I haven't posted any pics yet, either, I'm just not ready, although I DO have some pretty awful before pics.

And on a side note, I lost my dad to cancer this summer...actually the chemo had given him a lot of nasty bleeding ulcers that went untreated for whatever reason, and in the span of 24 hours, he died an awful death that we were all there for. I don't think I looked very pretty that day, either, and if someone had decided that they wanted pictures, I might have commenced to beating the living s*** out of them. THIS IS NOT THE TIME.

OK, BACK TO TOPIC!! :huggie:

Ahhhh, so you do understand why I was starting to give my sis the finger as she took the photo!

Sorry about your Dad, it's hard losing them. Very hard.

I met WASa last summer when I went to AZ to visit my dad. She is the sweetest person and I feel lucky to have her on this board.

It's nice to have someone who is so intelligent and is a wealth of information to be willing to help out and answer questions.

I can't wait to see her again when I visit my dad again in a couple of months. She wasn't quite to goal when I met her. She looked great then, so she must be looking fabulous now!

My dad is 88 and I dread the inevitable. I have been lucky that he has been is such good health for someone who has smoked for 60 years.

Thank you, Denise.

BTW, I called your Dad the other day to see if he wanted to go out to dinner somewhere but I wasn't able to reach him. When you talk to him would you mention that I'd love to take him out somewhere as we planned when you were here?

Thanks! That was really sweet of you. He is in Chicago right now and won't be back until the middle of Jan. I am glad because

I don't have to worry about him while my brother is taking care of him.

WasABB rocks my socks. haha.

I met her a couple of weeks post-op and she was the sweetest. VERY knowledgeable in the medical field and industry and if I do say, she's not too tough on the eyes. ;-)

      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.
