Welcome. I'm relatively new as well, just about a week. Am scheduled to get banded in March. I know how you feel. I'm so hoping that this tool will help me to get my life back as well. I have 2 beautiful grandchildren that I want to play with and be around for for a long long time.

Scotland is such a beautiful country. I would love to visit there someday. Love the accent.

Best wishes for you.

Welcome Yvonne,

I have been in your beautiful country numerous times~ Me Grandma was born in Edinbourgh castle and Dad is from Tillicoutry near Alva. We took him back there 2 years ago for his 80th birthday and we had a great time.

We spent a week there and then he split off and went to Ireland and we continued to the highlands! My husband, and my two sons had a grand time. We went to the Isle of Skye and up by Kyle which was where me grandma named one of my sons. We went all over the highlands and found a museum with our family name McKay on it... by then my DH and two sons had really had enough of the "McKays" so they went hiking and I explored the museum.

Good luck on your new journey in Bandland. This is a great place for suport!!!!!

I'm stopping in to welcome you to LBT! I spent a few days in Scotland way back when...went to Edinburgh Castle...we rode the train around the country...loved it! I'll have to refresh my memory on the name of the other little town we stayed overnight in...it was on the coast...fishing town...had a great and funny experience in a pub up there, as you can imagine when two young ladies from Texas just walk into the town pub full of burly Scottish fishermen! It's a fond memory!

Good luck to you in your journey, and hope you stop by here often!

Cindy

Hello,

Pleased To Meet You All - You Girlies Have Probably Seen More Of Scotland Than Me - Hehe - I've Only Been To America Once - New York And I Loved It - Fabulous - Loved The Accents Too - All Accents Are Lovely.

I Love Visiting Castles - Wales And England Have Some Lovely Ones Too. I've Been To The Isle Of Mull And Arran - I Want To See More Of My Country And Hope To Do So As The Weight Comes Off And I Can Get Out And About Again. I Giggled Imagining Two Texan Girls In A Scottish Bar - Did You Manage To Find Out What A Scotsman Wears Under His Kilt? ;-) Haha

So Nice To Be Welcomed Like This - Thank You All

Yvonne

      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.
