I live in the DFW area, and I'm a stay at home mom to 4 kids. Who gets to go back to college next year when kid number 3 starts pre-k.

You sound a lot like me:) I hope to go back next year when my middle child starts PreK. MIL doesn't mind watching the baby b/c he's the only and last grandbaby in the family.

Before I became a stay at home mom I did medical billing for a local family practice.

Hi! My name is Rose and I'm from Des Moines, Iowa. I was banded August 3rd. I'm a retired RN and was banded a few days after my 60th birthday. I'm down almost 90 pounds (in the past year) in total but 30 since pre-op diet. I agree with the others, since I retired, I finally decided to take care of myself and feel good about the weight loss and will even feel better with each goal I meet. I even enjoy pool walking and jogging!! What a change!:thumbup:

      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.
