you are 25 years old, i could have given birth to you, I am 48 . Yon have younger, better metabolism...and probably much higher breasts!!!lol

well day 6 and eating my cottage cheese. I wish I had gotten on tract at that age. although I was to busy getting pregnant and gaining weight!

I hear ya kimmason! I am on day 4 and I am so hungry! I wish someone would answer this mind-blowing question....How can you feel full off liquids and still have hunger pangs? I am basically trying to sleep away my time before my surgery on friday! I am so proud of myself at this point though. Day 1 was the worst. It has occurred to me that I miss chewing. I wake up in the morning with sore jaws from grinding in my sleep. I know this is all mental, but talk about a reality check. I must admit it has not gotten worse, but I was just wondering if anyone had experienced it.....Feedback?

oh and since on this website I am geting more spam to my email....ie penis lengthening, harder, faster, longer. lol, and medications ads, so what is that all about. I mean I am going to get slimmer, but i am not opening a brothel!

Kim-

I am on 7 days of liquid pre-op. My menu choices include tea, coffee, gatorade, broths, Jello, skim milk, crystal light, Protein shakes (limit 2/dy), and Water. That is just my LBS's preference. I have already lost 5lbs since last thursday, which is more than the 3lbs over the last 6 wks from the weight loss challenge we have going on my job! Crazy! I have had high blood pressure for the last 6 yrs and with my weight steadily rising it was time to do something about it. Can't wait to get to cream soups!

By the way, I am an x-ray tech...therefore the homer avatar!

During my pre-op, I was on two weeks of "Optifast" shakes and I couldn't bring myself to swallow it without "chewing" every mouthful. :paranoid Strange, I know...but boooy did I ever miss chewing!

I was bitching and moaning about the headaches...I wonder if I might have been grinding at night too. lol

That's grinding my TEETH. btw

lmao

Good thing you clarified that....'cause ya just KNOW that Argon and Cloe would have had a field day with THAT one!!!
