You look great! But honestly, if I had seen the two of you on the street, I wouldn't have guessed you to be his mom!

Thank you everyone for the compliments! My son is a Special needs child and it was a long road getting to and passing the sixth grade(hes 13). I was just so proud of him I could burst:biggrin:!

Mhazelrigg- We were in a restaurant and I was reprimanding him about something and the waitress came over and said " What would your mother say about you yelling at him like that!!?" I said, "This is my son I can talk to him how I please." She was Shocked! LMAO:lol:

Just wanted to share a recent picture of my son and I...Hope everyone is doing well!!!!!!

Taismommy, what a beautiful picture of you and your son! Warm hugs, glad to hear from you, and thanks so much for sharing this picture. As a mom of a "special needs" child too, I know the struggles. (my son will be 12 years old soon). You deserve to be proud of him (and yourself for the work you've done)!

Your comment regarding the waitress in the restaurant was precious and priceless! :)

Rhapsody, there has been more than a few times I felt like running away, but I am so glad those moments are getting more rare. The amount of pride and love I felt was amazing, I couldnt stop smiling and hugging him.

Thanks alot I hope you and son are doing well.

What a beautiful picture! Please share more whenever you can!

      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.
