I too am shocked at this tragic loss. Poor Blossom... She was so inspirational and a joy to all of us on the forum. I am so sad to have read this post. Phillip, I am so sorry this happened to your family. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Teresa

Dear Philip ~ Nobody can even begin to understand the pain you are going through ~ but as you said, please feel comfort in knowing that Carolyn was doing exactly what she wanted to be doing on the last day here with you ~ and how many of us can say that? I looked again at her picture and her beautiful smile, happy eyes, and sunshine blonde hair and how young she was. "Blossom"....what a perfectly fitting name for a beautiful young woman who will remain in our hearts forever.....

earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.

Or sunshine, love, salvation.

It could, you know. That's why we wake

and look out -- no guarantees

in this life.

But some bonuses, like morning,

like right now, like noon,

like evening."

Like "Blossom", Like Carolyn........

      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.
