Hello Group,

But most of all I hope to see everyone there. Please E-mail me a thumbs up if you are coming. I'm sorry this is such a short notice.

Kee - I'm looking forward to meeting you Sunday.

Thanks goes out to the group for helping pull everything together.

Karen

HEY GUYS --

I was talking to Teresa the other day and Raquel brought us a simillar topic on an OH thread

http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/LapBand/postdetail/271216.html?vc=0

I was thinking today at the meeting we can discuss this topic.....Practicing / managing better food choices, and practacing bandster rules while eating ( not drinking etc. ).

I was thinking we could talk about this and learn how others deal with these issues. Maybe we can practice the rules today together. I'm a firm believer that since this is new..we must practice to make it routine.

Any thoughts...

      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.
