I hope and pray we never see another devastating attack such as 9/11. Though we lost so many brave souls, so many were saved by the bravery of others.

The devastating events of 9/11 haunt our everyday lives. What sorrow for the families. What a loss for America. They are all in my prayers.

And $300,000,000,000+ and 4 years later we still haven't put this psycho away.

My older daughter saw part of the observance I was watching on TV this morning. Then the cover of the NYTimes Magazine has a portrait of Bin Laden. While explaining what I was watching on TV I was able to show her who the "bad guy" was. The first thing she asked me was whether he was still alive and free. I was very sorry to tell her yes, on both counts.

My heart breaks for the victims, and sadly I have no faith whatsoever that we are making any progress at all.

My hearts and prayers go out to the ones affected by 9/11. I remember going into the city about a week after the attack cause John had a gig in town. IT was very surreal walking those streets. SIGH!!

Slight hijack thread here. Alexandra LOVE the new avatar.

      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.
