I'm afraid of dying - just updated my will.

I'm afraid of failing at this...like every other thing I have tried.

I'm afraid of complications that will make me have to remove the band and then I can't afford a revision surgery.

I'm afraid of being laid off and not being able to afford the payments for this surgery.

Lastly - I am afraid of spiders!!!!

How much Biotin is recommended per day?

I need to get clarification on this, too.

On pages 65-66 of the Forest Park Medical Center Manual that was posted here on Springers, it states "Nioxin Shampoo can be used to help and/or Biotin supplements (50 to 100 mcg per day)."

I finally was able to find Biotin today at Target. One tablet has 1000 mcg (1 mg). The directions on the bottle say to take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal.

I asked my surgeon's NP about Biotin when we had the small group meeting, and she said it's fine to take Biotin, but she didn't say how much to take.

Hopefully, Julie might be able to help us.

      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.
