Hi there everyone; took me a while to read through the posts! I love all the chatter. Great pics of everyone from the weekend, looks a great day. Tamra your little one is adorable.

John, thanks for the heads up on the show...I am gonna watch it but I have my dvr set in case I fall asleep.

I saw the shrink today and since I saw only 2 people in the room she passed me to move on...lol I didn't tell her you guys gave me the answer to that question. hahahaha

I was bummed because I didn't get to see Liz today, they told me they would try but come to find out she's only there on mon/wed so I don't know why they said I would see her anyway but oh well. I have an apt with her on april 12th.

Laurel, how you doing? hope your feeling good and the broth is helping your hunger.

oh ya, lost another 5 lbs so down 25 since 1/26/10! Yippe.

My goal for the week is 10,000 steps every day. So far I've got 3 days in a row! If only I'd brought my pedometer with me on our walk instead of leaving it in the car...

I had an awesome weekend. I left Pat's house and checked in to my hotel and hung out for a bit. Then I went to the factory stores. I bought an insulated bag for my crock pot. Lol. That's so like me... I spent more time back at the hotel hanging out. I watched a Cake Boss marathon. I'd never seen the show (don't have cable) and I hate that guy. He is so annoying AND he made a cake for a gang. REALLY? REALLY? So irritated by that. ... Moving on, my friend and I went to a party at his neighbor's apartment. Some kid's 21st b-day. I felt so old! I never went to college parties when I was in college. There was a girl there who was so excited to meet my friend she sqealed "OMG, You're like a celebrity! I can't believe I'm meeting you". She was cracking me up. Later in the evening she was asking people if they were gay/straight, and turned to me and asked "are you a lesbian, gay, straight, a man?" (Yeah, she'd been drinking) when I answered "Straight woman" she said "ME TOO! OMG, we're twins... but you're 26". Apparently after I left she went and cleaned my friend's kitchen.

I think the lesson I learned, is that you can have a clean kitchen but you have to recruit at college parties.

On Sunday we had Breakfast in Cotati and then went up to Armstrong Woods and did a nice walk up there. So nice. I even got a chance to work out at my hotel's gym Sunday morning too!

I'm rambling. That means it's time for bed. Goodnight!

John I forgot to answer you:

When I talked to Robin she told me at this point, measuring vs weighing, she told me to WEIGH my food like I have been. She said she tried to change the binders as much as she could but missed alot. Based on me loosing 18 lbs in the 6 weeks she told me keep up the good work and to keep on doing what I am! So Pat, weighing your 3 oz of meat is FINE!!

So did you find out how much the veggies and the fruit should be - like maybe 1 or 2 oz?

      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.
