Hey Nicole - I get like that all the time - menopaus perhaps LOL seriously, that's what use to happen to me before I got full on pannic attacs - I chalk it up to anxiety. You got alot going on!

believe me, the lewis' noticed! They just didn't know what to say like "you look great" but that would be like saying you looked like crap before. Or "you're so thin" but again, that's say you were so fat before. some people just don't know how to approach sensative subjects. but you best believe they're talking about you behind your back right now LOL but in a good way!!

10 pages of posts today. Is that a new record? I haven't had a chance to read any of them. I just got in from school. I won't be staying in that class, it was pure torture. Seriously. The teacher kept shouting and slamming his fists on the table. There are only 13 people in the class! Ugh. And work stuff is stressing me out. I've just had a rough day. Let's hope this "sleep it off" thing works and tomorrow is a better day!

I know I need to write my stuff down. Even the stuff everyone told us today, didn't write anything down and I sure I can't remember anything if I don't write it down.

Heather, that teacher sounds an awful lot like my boss!! he actually pulls his hair when he's yelling at me. I get to throw him out of my office though - kinda rewarding LOL. Get a good nights sleep and let us know how it worked out hahaha. Sweet dreams!

yea pre op was alot of stuff!! But you'll be so glad you have it.......I didn't want to get out and go shopping at all that first week. I had surgery on Monday and was out and on Sunday but only for an hour it tired me out to bad............so nice to have everything at home.

I also washed my PJ's and sweats and had them all folded and ready by the shower. So nice to just put on a clean pair after a shower without having to find them. Luck for me I had enough comfy PJ type clothes to last all week............that was one thing I was so glad I set out ahead of time...........a strange comfort thing.........than and I bought a new soft, soft robe pre op that I wore and slept with that first week......

Oh and if you have a lazy boy move it to where you can see the TV BEFORE surgery.........I didn't and had to beg one of my guest to move it for me post op.......so I could chill and watch TV. The first two days I could only LISTEN to the TV since no way I was moving that chair anywhere.........never mind I could barely get in and out of it..........LOL.

And don't lay on the couch to sleep when you get home from surgery!!! LOL> I did that and when I woke up like 6 hours later I realized I could not get off the couch......it took me 45 minutes of twisting and crawling to figure out how to get up without using my stomach muscles...........of course I don't have a man living here to pull me off the couch.........LOL. Lazy boy was the only way to go post op getting up and down.......still hurts but doable!!

Ah watch out for the cats that jump on your port!! My darn cat still does that and now it is not so bad but seriously why do they always find the exact spot where the port is??

Tamra, I've never been to this one but they usually do end right on time. we need to get you a new babysitter - I will have to recruit my niece and stepdaughter.

My husband set the DVR for me for Oprah. I'll watch it tomorrow, after the meeting.

Guess I'd better hit the hay too.

      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.
