I hope you are holding up okay. I know how hard it is to bear the pain of loss, and like someone else said, watch others we love suffer. I lost my mom to a long illness in July. Many prayers and hugs coming your way, Cindy

Hi All,

I have read and re-read your posts over the past few days--all a blur of grief and mourning. Amazing support and I am over and over again blessed to be part of such a great group here at LBT.

My brother's memorial was intense and beautiful. He had excellent life long friends, who all spoke at the service. His girlfriend of two years was in Australia on business when we got the terrible news, and immediatly flew home. Lots of other friends and family appeared out of no where. My parents live on a lake shore where our family has lived for more than 100 years. All the houses were re-opened (these are summer homes) and they were all full with my brothers friends. Local friends appeared with food to feed us all. The weather was, and still is amazing for this time of year--we were all in the boats and wakeboarding, which was my brothers passion. Besides BMW automobiles,---where he was employed as a client advisor on Wall Street in NYC.

I left my parents alone tonight--they are exhausted and I think need time to be alone together.

Thank you again, my far flung friends for your help during this terrible time.

Here is a recent pix of him doing what he loved--wakeboarding. He was awesome.

      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.
