Scorpio I think starting the group would be a good idea. It also expands the date so we can get more joiners. Even though i do think we have a great start to a great group of ppl. As for the 6 weeks to get into good habits. I eat worse when i am off work then when i am at work. I think its not having time to eat then. I figure if i am at work during the liquid stage will keep me to busy to think of being hungry. Least thats my hope. I am scared if i sit here I will have way to much time on my hands to think of not eating.

Ok I sent all of you an invite, but just in case you didn't get it....

I hope our little group grows. I posted it in March, April and May's forum but if you know anyone, please suggest the group. I'm thinking I'll need all the support I can get.

36 days and counting!

Jump over to the "Springers" group and join there. We combined March April & May into one group so we would have more to share.

Thank u tahnee....

I know the feeling kerra......I had to do the whole 6 month thing. I called my dr office a few days before my last appt and the told me that my insurance was not requiring the 6 months supervised diet plan anymore. Talk about disappointment! But I don't regret it at all because I really learned a lot from it. Congrats on ur surgery date tho!!!

Yay! There are finally more April bandsters!

Chunkygirl- you and everyone are more than welcome to join the group. If you search for Springers under the groups tab you can join from there. It's an open group.

BTW- someone from the March bandsters said April ones were not as fun. As if!

      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.
