DId anyone cheat while they were in the mushy /soft food stage?
You need to be REAL CARFUL of FATS. And there are fats in steak! I would stick with what your suposed to or you may end up with a gallblatter attack! Take it from someone who has been there! I was on a liquid diet for 3 weeks, then I had a slice of pizza the fat put me in the hospital and almost KILLED ME. Steak doesn't have the fat that pizza does but I'd be really really careful!

NOW I"M HAVING A FIT!
OK Kim and Loretta, called the office today to ask about a capsil medication I take. I also asked about the day before if I needed to be on clear chicken broth type stuff all day. Val, called back and said that I should not be eating cream of whatever soups! Whats the deal with this? When I spoke with Bobbi she siad they were ok but that I should stop the milk and puddings the last few days. Kim what did you do? Loretta what did he tell you yesterday? Am I feaking out just to freak out? My anxiety is at a 20 on a scale of 1-10.

BeechStreet/Trident Insurance
My husbands company offered that and PHCS. I think they are both about the same. The reason why we didn't go with Beechstreet was because it only covered 1 hospital and all of our Dr.s are from the other. I am happy with my insurance right now and I haven't heard any complaints from the other employee's about Beechstreet. Give them a call they'll tell you if they cover it or not. Good luck.

This is funny!
Worth reading for the last couple lines..... In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled. And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from size 6 to size 14. So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast. God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof. God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it "Angel food Cake," And said, "It is good." Satan then created chocolate cake and named it "Devil's Food." God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds. Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds. God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with that?" And Man replied, "Yes!And super size them!" And Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into cardiac arrest. God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. Then Satan created HMOs. Thought for the day ...... There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today Than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

Gross taste in my mouth
I have been on my pre-op liquid diet for 10 days now. I have this horrible taste in my mouth. I feel like my teeth have a film over them. Is this keytosis (I have no clue how to spell that one) Is it pre- op gitters going into my mouth? How do I get rid of this? Will I have this after the surgery for a long time? It feel slimmy? Am I just wierd?
