Hi everyone! I live in Brea and will be banded by Dr. Kelly Francis on 03/25/08 at FVRMC. I actually have my first face to face appointment with her tomorrow. I've attended all my classes and have had my cardiac clearance. I'm really looking forward to this process! Wish me luck! And good luck to all of you in this process, too!

Support group meetings? hey gals, I know alot of people have asked about support meetings, I was just wondering if you all would be interested in doing one. I have not been able to attend my support meetings through the doctors, since they are only available on Mondays. I can't do Mondays. Let me know. You can email me directly too if you like. I was hoping we could set something up for this month. I would really love to be able to chat face to face with others who know what I am going through.

      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.
