Hello.

I read some of your posts and love your dedication. I am just like you ... sticking exactly to what the Doc tells me and not veering even the slightest bit off course.

I live by Lake Arrowhead, but I work all over S. Cal and my Doc is in Norwalk. I am usually free by about 1pm when I'm in the field. What is your schedule like in the daytime?

Hi all,

Wow I am so excited that people are nearby or close. I was banded Nov. 15, 2010 FYI. I am eating soft Proteins only and shakes if I want ......uggggg

I did shakes for a month straight ouch that one hurts.

I am following everything to a T but far from perfect I am normal and still think about food I just don't choose to have it. I am trying to make this work. I would love to start a group for anyone who is interested. All I ask is that people try to stay positive it's ok If you mess up I just want positive energy around me.

Thanks mountain girl I apppreciate the kind words and I'm glad that your sticking to it also.

I am currently available most days I have a very flexible schedule.

Santa monica is pretty close and yorba linda and carson. Come all is welcome!!!!!!

Please feel free to email me and we can all start figuring this out.

Friday and Sunday works for me this week.

Looking forward to some fun.

T

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
