Can we all hear an AMEN !!!! Janel

I am just thrilled that I have chosen to quit smoking the same week I am going in for surgery with the help of the electronic cigarette. IT COMES IN FLAVORS and nicotine free right now my daughter made me york peppermint patty and I have watermelon and red bull and honey and green tea. So now if my tastebuds want something I just suck on empty flavors if I crave a cigarette. I suck on empty flavors. Yea for me for being smart. Plus I made the rest of the family do it too. Janel

Either way cold or hot as long as its sugar free

marisela: 3/11! TraciW: 3/11!! 11brittney11: 3/11! metherer: 3/11! Steevo: 3/11! cranialmalady: 3/11!! Gibbys Goddess: 3/11! I'm praying for you all. We are cheering for you to reach the loosers bench safe and sound. Janel

What is head hunger? And how do you avoid it. Janel

I was beating myself up trying to stick to 5 - 8oz shakes a day. I finally decided to eat a small amount of high protein meat a day. I also am drinking massive amounts of Green Tea, this is great for cleaning out all of the fatty deposits in the liver and shrinking it prior to surgery. Only 5 more days until the looser bench.

I understand the thin husband it kills me my husband had a 28 inch waist until he turned 40 and he complains now that is a 34. But his life will change again next Friday. No sugar allowed in the house ever a again. But he is supportive of me. Janel

I have not done well at all on mine, I've cheated every day. So now I am headed to GNC to pick up an appetite suppressant and a 7day total body cleanse. That I will start today since my surgery is in 8 days. I had asked my doctor for appetite suppressants and he said 80% of patients don't feel the need for them. I have been told no specfic amount of pounds to loose. My HW is 255.00 and he said I have little belly fat, he just wants my liver smaller. So I think all the doctors expect some type of cheating. I mean really if we could control food we wouldn't need the surgery, and they wouldn't perform them. Janel

That is what Mayo says to take as well good old Flintstones Janel

At Mayo they have futons in the room for the spouses. Call the hospital and ask them what type of accommodations they have for spouses Janel

Has anyone heard from our March go getters let? Janel

Be prepared for the headache it starts on day two and if you have to work I wanted to make sure you have medications with you. Janel

Don't be surprised if they tell you shakes only and be prepared for the headache. Janel
