Hello,

Im Rhonda. I am in Jacksonville Fl. I am married and have 3 children. 4,6, 12. My husband is in the military so i play single mama alot. I am looking for a mentor to chat with along my journey. I just started. I recently went to the seminar and have a date scheduled to talk to the financial person. ( Insurance will cover it all but its 1 of the steps) They say since i have Tricare prime i can be banded in 30 days or so. I didn't think it would be that fast. But i have my seatbelt on and ready for the ride. I am currently 260 and my goal weight is 140. My personal email is Rhonda435@att.net if anyone wants to chat. :thumbup:

You can ask someone to be your buddy on here and also email them. Sometime you have more personal questions you don't want to ask anyone but your buddy. Not only that but email is a great way to become more personal with your buddy and find out more about them.

      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.
