I might actually have to tell my son to bite me anyway.:smile2:

I think the people in the white coats have been on to me for a while, but the figured there was just no hope.:sneaky:

Don't jump out of yor skin. You are going to do so well that you won't even remember being nervous at all. I hope. Well, maybe not. hahahaha

I just love a good sense of humor! :girl_hug:

Let me know how you are doing. Maybe we can out smart the white coats together. :smile2:

You know, we are going to do great. We have a fantastic support group and a good foundation to work off of. Hang in there!

Bikini Beachy,

Not alone with the family/in laws. My brother-in-law decided to announce this for me at a birthday party. "The next time you see Tammie, she'll be much smaller." This lead to really strange and rude questions from people who don't know me.

Like "Are you sure you tried everything? You have a an addiction, are you sure this is going to work for an addiction? You do have a nice face, too bad about your body." I live in Holland so some of the comments were just retarded, though we can try to blame cultural difference.

Like you, I just cannot appreciate comments or advice about eating or drinking tea without sugar. I have told my boss and some close colleagues. I have just warned them not to dramatize it. I prefer to melt.

This is my first message. I joined two days ago and I am bombarded with info.

Hang in there with the family. Patience.

Surgery date: Sept 10, 2008

Start weight: 289

      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.
