I'm addicted to crossing my legs at the knee. It amazes me that I can do it, that I can do it comfortably, and that I can touch my calves together when my legs are crossed. I find myself constantly crossing my legs. Even under my desk at work!

LOL. I haven't seen much of my collar bones yet.

I like to lay in bed and pinch my belly roll and visulalize how much closer together my fingertips are getting. NurseAmys tummy photos are really inspiring me. I also like to touch my port as a reminder that it is working quietly at its job. I ask other people if they want to touch it, too. OMG.

LMAO!!! OMG Foofy, I was so glad to read your post, I am always asking someone if they want to feel my port....its great to know I am not the only one.

Heehee. The responses from various people are pretty interesting when I ask them if they want to feel it. I keep forgetting that it crosses into personal space issues for a lot of people. Ah well, I love to do it and it educates the masses....

Shoeaddict - you are almost in Onederland!! Yay!! I am jealous.

      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.
