Cool edel!! Being a belly sleeper this makes me happy.

I had a breast reduction years ago and I had to sleep on my back for over a month and I hated it!!

i have scanned in the recipes if anyone would like the file. my daughter lives in Florida and she went and bought some vanilla base Protein at Walmart. i don't see why that won't work for these also. they mainly have the protein different jello's, splenda, fruits and extracts. very good tasting. i like the banana cream pie and peach cobbler. heheheh.

(not sure if i did the ticker right)

anyways, i am so happy to have found you all. i am getting nervous with each passing day. i am going to have my pre op test on tues and surgery wed. it will be so good to lose this weight and not worry about it coming back on me. i have fought this all my life.

hope you all have a great day!!

yep...i'm in the soft food stage as of today! doc released me back to work...a week and a day after surgery. i'm still pretty sore too. this is interesting. and the doc told me to enjoy the soft foods now...cuz once that's over...no more. he's very big on avoiding the slide through foods.

i have a question. i was looking online at those Protein bullets and stopped at a local GNC yesterday. they didn't have any in the store but they carry them online...bad thing is that you have to buy 12. i would love to just try one of each flavor to see if this is something i'm going to want to use. anyone know where i might be able to do that??

glad folks are feeling better...and good luck to those yet to come!!

Hi Edel, That's good news!

I slept threw the whole night for the first time in a week and on my back! I kinda would like to get used sleeping on my back because it helps prevent premature wrinkles from forming on your chest and around your eye area! Along with of course a good eye cream and face cream.

Is anyone else as paronord as me about losing weight and looking 5 or 10 years older? It freaks me out thinking about it!!:Banane37:

I ordered two cases online of the fruit punch and I really like it. I did not find any in the GNC store when I was looking for it a couple of weeks ago. However, this past weekend, I saw them as singles at another GNC store in the mall. You might just want to call a few stores and ask if they have them as singles and how much they are. You will pay more for sure. They are really convenient and that's why I like them.

Cutie, you are still young and will be fine. I think it also depends on how full your face is before you lose. Some people carry more weight in their face and neck area and might be more prone to sagging.

Oh, thanks you guys! I'm staying home today drinking my magcit. No action yet, but I'm getting a lot of schoolwork done. LOL! My little bag is packed and ready to go. Did any of you take your heating pad to the hospital with you or just use it at home? The nurse yesterday just said to keep it simple and bring my makeup bag and cell phone. I'm like, you're kidding, right? When I travel, I pack like I'm leaving for a month and it's only one night! LOL!

Sooo, I went to the store today, because all of my pants are falling off of me and I need something to wear when school starts. I am down a size in pants and I tried on a 18/20 dress and it fit! I started crying in the dressing room. I have not seen a '1' in front of clothes size for about 12 years!

I was sooo excited!

      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.
