Pre-band I had such horrible swelling in my feet, ankles and lower legs. I guess I had what is called pitting edema. I could push my finger in my ankle or shin and leave a huge, deep, dimple in my skin. It was so gross. Now I can see my ankles, the veins in my feet, my toes actually look slender, and I have shins. I can even feel the ligaments behind my knees. My best friends husband told me last weekend that I had cute toes!! I was wearing some cutesy beaded flip flops. I was so elated he might as well have told me I looked like Princess Diana. NOT!.... My birthday is next week. A new pair of sexy sandals and a sun dress are in order!!

I work part time doing mani's and pedi's, I do some really cool nail art on other people feet. I can't wait to be able to do my own! It's a real struggle to paint your own toes when you’re bigger! Plus I have never ever in my life worn stiletto’s I have always been to big and been scared of snapping them! First thing I am gonna do when I feel confident enough is go and get me a pair of the sexiest shoes I can find oh after I give my self a Pedi that is lol XXX<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

      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.
