I'm reading the Twilight series for the second time right now. I'm halfway through book 3. I like them much better than I expected to.

I also read the Child Called It books. They were heartwrenching. I don't mind autobiographical when it has a purpose like those.

I've actually been approached to write a book about my labpand journey. I'm still mulling it over. I think I'd like to be close to goal or at goal first.

shm,

That is awesome! I totally understand your waiting until you get to goal - however the longer you wait the more chance of you forgetting the details. It's the littlest things that make a story what it is. Perhaps you can start to keep a writing journal everyday or weekly...

Lilmiss,

I have a blog that I've kept from the beginning of this whole journey. (See my signature.) I think that's what prompted this person to suggest the book thing.

Favorites of all time:

The Sparrow - Mary Doria Russell

The Children of God - Mia Doria Russell

The Red Tent - Anita Diamant

The Time Travelers Wife - long last name I don't remember (starts with an N)

None are quick, but they are fabulous!!!

Travel_anna, those are great books. I've read 3 of them, and I've got Time Travelers Wife somewhere around the house.

ReadySteadyGo, have you read Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books? HBO used them for the True Blood series. They take place near Shreveport.

So just to catch up. I've read the twilight series twice now, and all the True blood books...also known as the Sookie Stackhouse series. It's written all about this area, Yes Julie they rock. In one of the books they talk about going to see "The Producers" at the strand theatre and I laughed so hard because I was actually there...of course I didn't see the warewolf attack outside :thumbup:

I have also been into Tamora Pierce lately. She's cool. And ww cookbooks too. I am currently rereading Jane Eyre.

I loved Marley & Me! And my favorite arthur is Dudley Moore...LOL!

LOVED Marley and Me. The movie, like usual, didn't do the book justice.

And, as Arthur, I loved it when she says to him: "Give me your hand." And he replies, "But, then, that would only leave me with one."

ReadySteadyGo, have you read Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books? HBO used them for the True Blood series. They take place near Shreveport.

I didn't realize they were from books. I've read and heard all about True Blood but I. Can't. Like. Another TV show!! Ack! Too many boob tube moments now!

My favorite Anne Rice book is A Feast of All Saints. Heart wrenching!

I love the Eye of the World series by Robert Jordan and was devastated to hear of his passing. He didn't finish the series, so his wife will work with another author to finish that last book. I'd been reading that series for 20 years!

Another series that I recommend is the Belgariad. A softer version of the Eye of the World.

Oh, and Ender's Game! I cried sooo hard at the end of that one.

I know it's an old thread, but I love to read! I just wish I had more time.

      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.
