Yeah, Germ X all over your body isn't good.

But that video is hilarious!

I agree, ditch the germ -x. Your poor skin must be so dry and chapped. I was a microbiology major and the good germs really can be killed off. You would not want to get colonized with the bad germs....

thanks for the interest, i'm...well, i appreciate the thought. Mostly my hands get "the treatment". It just seemed with Water they were never clean the first time, or the second...etc. NOT POKING FUN OF OCD, by the way, it's a thing I've lived with all my life. I guess I got to the point of it being humorous instead of sad, I mean if I have to live with it, I'd rather think it was perculiar and funny than sad, and be totally depressed. it is a deeper thing, I know, I know... but on the positive side, my New Year's Resolution was to use water on me, and only Purell with Aloe on my hands (that germx is rough). And it seems to be working, my hands look decent, not chapped, VERY CLEAN...

      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.
