Kat, painting? I tried that a couple of times, it looks almost like fun, until you paint a few strokes with a brush or a roller, LOL. I know Rick will be very happy and surprised.

Betty, batten down the hatches and be prepared, looks like one H of a storm. How close or far away are you from there?

Diane, are interested in a cocktail this afternoon? I'm thinking about heading your way about 11ish.

Donna, where are ya? I know school is a busy time, but don't forget about us.

Chrispy, those pictures on myspace are adoreable! What cuties!

Hugs everyone!

Hi everyone!

Im back! Had the surgery Tuesday. The actual surgery went real well, however, I did have complications. They couldn't get me out of the anesthesia and than after that I couldnt breathe on my own for about 1/2 hour, so while wide awake, they had to put me on a respirator and bag me. it was so horrible. I had to actually get their attention by writing on paper because they thought i was ok, but was actually couldnt breathe. so i ended up in ICU for the duration of my hospital stay. But I am home since wednesday and doing real well. i am moving around, able to shower and sleep and drink

i am still real excited and very optimistic about my journey!

so how are all of you?

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about all of you.

Pat, of course I wouldn't forget any of you! I'd love to have a drink sometime and don't mind driving to meet Diane.

School is still going well. I am also taking a class on Thursday nights from 4 to 7, so I've been pretty busy. I'm settling into my new school. I hope I can start cutting down on all the hours I've been working. After a lazy summer I'm struggling with these 55 hour weeks. lol

I'm due for a fill on Oct 1st. I'm thinking about calling in sick, since I'm taking off to go to UVA medical center for my husband on the 23rd of this month. Let me know if you'll be around that day. I'd love to celebrate!

Eileen- those puppies are adorable! They all look so different too!

Sherry - I'm definitely going to try that crock pot recipe. It looks delicious!

Betty- I'm glad you are healing well! Send some pics when the swelling goes down.

Michaele- good luck with your new band; I know you'll be glad you made the decision.

If I missed you, it doesn't mean I'm not thinking about you. Take care.:smile:

      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.
