Recommended Posts

Hey Y'all:

Just because I was born in Socal, I have deep roots in the south. My parents are from Louisana and I also spent 5 happy years working in Atlanta.:biggrin2:

GG:

Don't mistake Grits for cornmeal porridge, its taste much better.

I have in-laws in London and have been there many times. I hope to come again soon.(once Iam comfortable enough in the airplane seats).

Glad to find you all. I was born in Dallas, Tx, but grew up in East TX, lived in Baton Rouge, La for 17 yrs, relocated back to East TX.

I was just telling a friend of mine that when I go to get my fills or LB support groups, I'm the only WOC in the mtg. To my knowledge there are very few around here if not any. BTW, love grits. I only discovered them when I moved to Baton Rouge, thought it was actually "grits" (sand). lol

My ex DH thought I was a lunatic. lol

      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.
