I wish I could but I am 4 hrs to the North. Maybe another time when I have a day off. Would love to go to either Pueblo or Colo Springs -- alot to do over that way.

Have a nice time.

I hear you.. Did you ever find out if you have a support site in your area for Bandsters?

So you are just counting down now right??

I am very new to the list. I live in Pueblo and Dr. Smith did my surgery. I was banded on 11/3/05. Does anyone go to a support group in the area? What is a good one to go to?

Hi terri, Dr. Smith is my Dr too and I travel to Pueblo from Albuquerque. I know they did at one time have a support group right there at Corwin on Tuesday nights.. You might want to call Dr. Smith's office and talk to Carla, she will know more about it. I know Nikki was in charge of it.. not sure anymore though.

Thanks for the info. I will call and find out. No one has mentioned a group to me as yet. I am just curious, how long was it before Dr. Smith let you add soft food? I will be 3 weeks post op tommorrow and I am still on full lqs. Maybe I am rushing, but my next appt is not until 12/22, he said we would discuss it then. When did you have your first fill?

      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.
