I'm back to defend my taste in chicken. It wasn't exactly like taffy; more like wood chips. You know you're in trouble when they bring a steak knife with your chicken breast!

WABB, are you ready for some PAPPADOUX's???? I can order one of their meals and know I have my food shopping done for the week!

By the way, I am off to sign up for a beginning Spanish class, so when we have to ask directions next time we're south of the border, we can actually understand their answer.

Ohhhhhh, Pappadoux's! That sounds GOOD! I just hope their food is as good as in Mexicali~

I can go in six days or later. Tomorrow I start the 5 day pouch test.

Or.... maybe I should do the 5DPT after Pappadauxs....

I don't care, you let me know when.

Do your pouch test first. We are headed to Tucson this weekend for our anniversary, so later next week would be fine for me.

WasA, I have to follow you all over the board.

I have support group tonight and I want to ask that damn nurse which test I have to demand to have. When I called to tell them about this night time acid reflux, she gave me nexium and told me not to worry about it.

She said if I had band problems, I would have problems in the day time too.

Then somebody posted that they were fine in the daytime like me, could eat whatever they want in small portions, but had the acid reflux at night. she said it turned out she had a slip.

Sounds great!

I started to do the 5DPT today but have a nasty case of gastritis and solid foods kills the pain. (ouch) So I'll try the test again tomorrow and see if it works.

Later next week is ideal! I'll be ready for GOOD food by then. cheese logs! I know, they are called cheese sticks but you saw those things, weren't they good??? Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Can't wait for you to come home!

Happy anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many years???

You know, a sleeve can tolerate a lot more than a band but even a sleeve couldn't tolerate that kind of wood chips. It was bad. Don't tell Snowbird I told you that, but it's true. :biggrin:(

lol...ok I won't tell! :mellow:

I am pretty sure my band is completely worthless right now, but even I don't want wood chips...lol...

I heard that! OOOHHHH, cheese logs. MMMMMMMMM. And you can hold the steak knife.

Monday is our 31st anniversary. And don't tell my husband, but he only has about 22 lb left to lose and I think he is looking kinda cute right now.

Maybe I'll tell him myself.

You look pretty darn good yourself too! Wish I could come and eat with you guys! Those mozzarella sticks were yummy. Even though just one made me so full, I wanted to eat all of them.

Hey, Denise! Thanks! You need to come back down for a visit! I'm sure the weather here is a whole lot better than the weather there.

Believe me, if I had my way, I'd be there all winter. I wonder if my daughter would let me take my grandbaby.

So Wasa, how's the 5DPT? BBK, how are things going? I've lost track of your cosmetic surgery woes, but hope everything is fine now. Wasa and I went to Mexicali for CS consults, but I have decided I can't afford it right now. With the stock market and everything else, I'm afraid my husband would start crying if I really pushed to take anything from savings right now.

Denise, I saw that Southwest was offering $85 flights from Seattle to Phoenix last week on their Ding program. Didn't check the prices from Portland. You should come down for a few days!

I had a bout of duodenitis and the only way to make the pain better was to eat solid foods. I kept it at mostly solid Proteins but crackers went down so easy. ;o) I am now on day #2 of the 5DPT.

Mmmmmmm, Papadeauxs cheese sticks and shrimp cocktail... doesn't it sound good!?!? Next week, is that good for you?

Know what I am doing? I'm a volunteer nurse on a police forum, when the guys are injured I explain the treatments, what the drugs are for, etc. Well, I know police officers from all over. Tomorrow night (Friday) I am doing a ride along with the Goodyear police dept. They are having a DUI check point. He said they always get a lot of good arrests there. Half the shift will be the DUI check point and the other half will be with a K9 officer.

I think it will be fun!

I hope the dog likes me. :smile:/

Glad you're feeling better; next week is fine for me. I just started a spanish class on Thursdays, so any day but that (Donde esta el Hospital Almater?)

See if you can find a cute policeman for yourself tomorrow night, although I usually prefer firemen.

      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.
