Purses actually are prejudice to me!

There's a lot of styles (the shoulder one particularly) that don't look good on my body. Once I get it up to my shoulder 1. it won't stay there for the life of me 2. it's too small to be there in the first place so I look like a goofy giant with a tiny purse.

I love the messenger bags. Most of my HS life that's what I had, and I had some cute funky ones (I still have a bright blue fabric one with butterflies all over it I use as a gym bag). They're not very adult-ish.. and the adult-ish ones I've seen.. like leather, are very boring and could pass as a male purse (NO THANKS!). So I miss messenger bags.. the ones that are 'suppose' to go across your body never fit me either, and I hate having to hold my purse all the time. If I didn't have to worry about looking professional I'd go back to my butterfly bag hah.

      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.
