Princess, you crack me up! Yep, yours was post 120!!! Yes, I feel loved, but not up to poochin just yet (for those of you who don't know, poochin is what you do when you are so excited, you just gotta squeeze your butt cheeks together!) So give me a little more time to get away from the stoma swelling...I'm still scared it will come back, and it was THAT awful...BUT I'm down 15.8lbs! It's not a very healthy 15.8, I actually feel a little sickly rather than slender (ha!) but I'm coming along!!!

Wer'e going to Wed night supper at church tonight, and noone at church has seen me ('cept a few) so I'll be interested in seeing how obvious it is by folks' reactions. Many at church know I had WLS, and I don't care who knows, but only a select few know about the Mexico factor. Mexico is more than most folks can handle! But I have recieved cards and phone calls of encouragement from people there and lots of praying is going on, it's a wonderful feeling to be prayed for, and cared about. I DO feel loved! Thanks everyone! I'll start poochin soon, I promise!

Well, reading it helped me.

If nothing else we two can stand together like a monument for New Banders Not Having it Easy. Kind of like a Mount Rushmore thing.

      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.
