They wouldn't let me half-order the bbq shrimp from TGIF's, so I got 2 skewers full. I ate 2 at the restaurant, just ate 1 more in my office, and going to see how many more I can eat before I explode.. they are so good.. mmmmm.

One more post for good luck teehee.

One of my co-workers was talking about this book she's reading right now, she said it's been all over the tv (I never heard of it) called The Shack.. true story, she said it's really sad and about a guy who loses everything, his kid dies or something (without ruining the story because she wasn't that far into it and she was all over the place).

That's on my list currently behind the Water book.

God works in mysterious ways! I looked up "The Shack" to get you the website, and in the process, I saw it said he's also the author of "So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore". Realized he's a religious writer of sorts.. then I went to Amazon to order The Curious Dog thing.. and it recommended "So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore". OK! So I just went to read the synopsis & reviews:

This book is perfect for people who have been alienated by the Christian church.

That's familiar. I think I told you guys when we were in V, about how I am Christian but I won't go to church again because of the judgementalness of the people at the church I grew up in blah blah.. I don't get warm fuzzies from church, so ironic to stumble across this.

The author is Mitch Albom and he has another one called 'For one more day'. A tear jerker as well, but fabulous!

Mitch Albom writes the sports column for the Detroit Free Press. It's one column in the paper I look forward to reading. He's an awesome writer. I've read Tuesdays with Morrie and Five People You Meet in Heaven. Tear jerkers for sure.

I bought the "For One More Day" and some reason I couldn't get into it :tt2:

Trying to think of all the other books I liked reading.. Books are always different from the movie, so like K-Pax the book was really good, completely different perspective from the movie.. I Am Legend- I REALLY loved this one, because the movie left me asking a lot of questions, that the book answers.. book gives you more background and the people that are dead were actually his friends blah blah, then it has a bunch of short stories in the back of the book that are seriously twisted.. I liked!

I like Maya Angelou's books, I still haven't finished them all, but I got em for a rainy day.. she wrote all her novels as a sort of auto-biography. "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" is one of the better ones... and "And Still I Rise"

Catcher in the Rye, one of my favorites.. and I was looking up Perks of Being A Wallflower, said he was influenced by Catcher in the Rye--I can definitely see that!

Oh hah and my favorite book of all times, A Wrinkle in Time.. it's technically a kids novel, but I love that book. I read it once every couple of years. I know your library would have it!

      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.
