Translation: Pleased to meet you, Nicole, how's it going? I understand a little of the italian laguage, do you understand?

I've learned that whenever an italian word ends in ere/are - it's an action

mangia - eat

Mangirare - to eat

so Piachere - pleased "to meet"

Free translaters on the internet never get that - also, english never translates to meanings word for ford simply because the way of talking is so different - like we say how are you and in latin they say "How do you stay" Come' Sta - we say im good or fine - the say I stay well - sto bene Computers try to translate word for word - it sucks cuz I'd really like to learn if fluently - Care to learn it with me?

So Mike speaks greek fluently - Sicily was once ruled by them so I am part greek too LOL

I got those thighs too - so, not only do our scales need to catch up, so do our thighs!

I think that liver thing is totally true!! So how to you get it out of you liver? Water? ??

In Greek instead of hello they say "ya" which is short for "yaiti" or what do you want?? LOL. Sounds fun in english. Sorta rude but in greek is fine to say. You answer the phone with "What" which cracked me up!! Ah so is Mike the typical warm blooded greek............my ex had the greek passion and the greek temper!! LOL.

Oh loving my shoes. Do bad they don't match everything I own. I am sore but ya know my knee has been doing great the last few days. Not going out like usual.

Hey I found out that if I eat really slow I don't PB at all. I have to take about 15-20 minutes a meal and wait in between bites..........but if I do that the protien stays down.

Still holding at 213. 2 more pound....................please 2 more pounds!!! :-)

Go Tina - 2lbs to your mini goal!

It's funny how different they talk - like in italy they answer the phone with "Pronto" - means "go ahead" and you can say damn near a whole english sentence with two latin words LOL.

I'm glad the shoes are working out for your knee! AND no PB's - that's great!

Oh, and the surname "Amato" in italy is like "smith" or "Jones" here - very common! Don't think I'm related but my daddy was pretty out there in his day!!

LOL. Ok. I didn't even know Amato was Italian but makes sense he does really look italian!!

well I have wanted to be 210 for over a month but I am closer now than a couple weeks ago. Knowing my stubborn body it won't work with me............since I want this so bad now!! I ate some chips and salsa yesterday............so all that salt!! Water today and no more chips!! LOL.

Ok today is 12 weeks since surgery so I am back to a regular diet today. LOL. Except I sorta started that awhile back!!! But as of today I CAN have salads!!! LOL. HOw funny is that???

      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.
