THanks Michelle: I am supposed to take it easy tonight. So, dinner is not an option. BUMMER!! I am breaking the rules by even being online. LOL!!! I do it for short periods of time. I get bored easily. If I had workout clothes with me I would go to the gym here. LOL!! And I am being tortured cause there is a starbuck's just down the street (within walking distance) but it is raining. GRRRRRRRRRR!!! That is just wrong.

Glad to hear you are doing OK

I'm real close by if you need anything

Hi Penni. Glad things went well & you're feeling up to typing. I caught you cheating on the pill thread! I hope your recuperation (sp?) continues to go smoothly.

Best wishes,

Karen

someone needs to tell Penni that rain should never be a factor whether to go to Starbucks or not. In Seattle we never let the rain stop us from doing anything.

I say "tell" because SHE SHOULD BE RESTING THOSE PEEPERS OF HER!

Hugs Penni, and I'm glad things went well!

OK I stand corrected about the rain. But I couldn't go out in it with the eye surgery. LOL!!

The whole thing took about 5 min. The prep time was longer than anything including the drive to the clinic. That took 15 to 20 min. Then wait for them to give instructions; then wait to be taken back; then wait for the surgeon to come and talk to me. Then 5 min to get lased. LOL!!

Cute little goggles put on. Pics coming later.

Then go to hotel room lie down for 2.5 hours and sleep. Then get on computer which was a NO NO! But I had to check in with you wonderful people. Ordered room service that night. Went to bed sorta early. WITH GOGGLES ON!! ARGH!!

Next day travel back to Clinic to be checked out and to put on the cute little loaner glasses to protect my eyes for 5 days. PIC to follow. I hate them of course. John says I look very professional in them. I told him to not get used to them cause they are history. Then home now.

Oh I have 20/15 distance vision now. WHOO HOO!! Monovision is the bomb. I can't even tell I had anything done other than perfect vision now. Crisp, clear, and so much better. I can read 20/20 where I couldn't before.

Anyone in the area and need a good reference for Lasik surgeon just let me know. I will be happy to give a referral.

Hi Penni,

Sending good wishes your way, let us know the outcome of your eye surgery. I have considered but wanted to do the lapband first.

Good luck with the surgery Penni. I wish I was a candidate for that type of surgery, but I am not. I had to get Progessive lenses now for my glasses. I love them.

      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.
